Influence of Redox Potential Current Density on Polarization Curves with Polypropylene Polymer

  • Published : 2000.12.01

Abstract

Experiments were carried out to measure the corrosion potential and current density variations in the polarization curves of polypropylene. In particular, the results were examined to identify those influences affecting the corrosion potential, such as temperature, pH, salt, and oxygen. The Tafel slope for the anodic dissolution was determined based on the polarization effect under various conditions. Furthermore, the optimum conditions for the most rapid transformation were establish based on a variety of conditions, including temperature, pH, corrosion rate, and resistance of corrosion potential. The second anodic current density peak and maximum passive current density were designated as the critical corrosion sensitivity(I(sub)r/I(sub)f). This I(sub)r/I(sub)f value was then used to measure the critical corrosion sensitivity of polypropylene. The potentiodynamic parameters of corrosion were obtained using a Tafel plot.
