Resumo

This study evaluated the effectiveness of electrospun cellulose acetate fibers (CAFs) containing oleic acid (OA) for corrosion inhibition on carbon steel in chloride-rich environments. By varying the OA content, CAFs of different thicknesses were produced. Potentiodynamic polarization showed that steel coated with OA-containing CAFs had enhanced corrosion resistance, with higher corrosion potential (E-corr) and lower corrosion current density (i(corr)). The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results for the dip-coated sample showed an impedance increase of approximately 20x (from 2 to 40 k Omega cm(2)), and a capacitance reduction from 10(-6) to 10(-8) F cm(-2), compared to the untreated sample. The protective effect remained even after 48 h of exposure. These findings suggest CAFs as effective carriers for delivering OA inhibitors, offering a promising solution for corrosion mitigation in saline environments. (AU)
