| Abstract Scope |
Corrosion in natural gas pipelines needs to be inhibited in order to mitigate safety incidents and methane leakage. Our previous research has shown that porous superhydrophobic coatings could prevent carbon steel from corroding in simulated natural gas, but the fabrication procedure based on dip coating was time-consuming and relied on lab-synthesized components. In this report, we will discuss how switching to a covalent-bonding-assisted spray coating process could reduce the fabrication time by more than 10 times while generating a more porous structure with better hydrophobicity. Moreover, the use of commercially available components was also increased from 50 to 100%, and the combinations of nanoparticles with different sizes were also evaluated based on hydrophobicity and corrosion rate. This research presents a viable path for improving the simplicity, scalability, and the prospect of commercializing porous superhydrophobic coatings. |
