Abstract

The growing concern for sustainability and environmental issues in the field of metal corrosion has become increasingly urgent in response to global demands for the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies. One of the widely used approaches to address this challenge is the utilization of plant-based corrosion inhibitors due to their abundant availability and relatively simple extraction process. This study aims to investigate the effect of varying concentrations of kapok bark extract inhibitors specifically at 1000, 2000, and 3000 mg/L on the corrosion rate of ASTM A36 steel in a 5% NaCl solution. The anticorrosion performance and inhibition mechanism were carefully examined through potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) testing and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results revealed that at a concentration of 3000 mg/L, the kapok bark extract was able to significantly reduce both cathodic and anodic reaction rates. This condition led to a decrease in the corrosion rate from 1.51 to 0.28 mm/year in the NaCl solution. The highest inhibition efficiency, 81.61%, was achieved at an inhibitor concentration of 3000 mg/L. Based on these findings, the kapok bark extract demonstrates significant potential as an environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor for ASTM A36 steel.

Abstract

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) biocomposites are a potential material to replace conventional plastics, but mechanical strength and thermal resistance are still low. To overcome these limitations, reinforcement from waru fiber nanocellulose (NCW) and calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) fillers are added to PVA bioplastics. Biocomposites formulator were mixed using a magnetic stirrer until gel formed, then poured onto glass and dried in oven for 12 hours at 60 °C. The density results showed an increase to 2.15 g/cm3 and a thickness of 1.32 mm after adding CaCO3. Meanwhile, PVA-NCW had a density and thickness of 1.27 g/cm3 and 0.26 mm respectively. This indicates as a major factor in increasing the tensile strength of biocomposites. The fillers play a role in increasing the tensile strength of biocomposites through better surface bonding. In addition, the interfacial bonding between PVA and the fillers has been confirmed by FTIR results. SEM observation shows the presence of clumps of NCW and CaCO3. In line with the tensile testing, the highest thermal resistance was also found in the PVA-CaCO3 sample. This is in line with the amount of residue produced by the PVA-CaCO3 sample 6.38%. The developed biocomposite offers great potential as a conventional plastics substitute.
