Abstract
Antimony acrylate (SbAc) was synthesized and used to modify linseed oil based polyesteramide in three molar ratios. IR, H-1-NMR spectroscopic techniques and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to characterize the SbAc modified polyesteramide resin (Sb-PEA). The films of Sb-PEA were applied on mild steel strips of standard sizes to study their coating properties. The physicochemical, physico-mechanical and anticorrosive behaviour of these coatings were evaluated by standard methods. It was found that the Sb-PEA coatings showed improved physico-mechanical and corrosion resistance performance in various corrosive media as compared to those of plain polyesteramide.
