Beta-Radiation-Resistant Anticorrosion Coatings Based on Lignin.

ABSTRACT: As humanity ventures beyond Earth, developing radiation-stable coatings from non-fossil sources becomes essential. Beta radiation can significantly harm materials, making it essential to seek resilient, biobased alternatives to work in corrosive environments and high temperatures. Herein, a novel lignin-based coating demonstrating exceptional beta-radiation resistance and anticorrosion properties is presented. The coatings are applied to copper substrates and exposed to 500 kGy electron beam irradiation in air to evaluate their structural and functional stability under extreme conditions. Spectroscopic, microscopic, and thermogravimetric analyses confirm the structural integrity of the coatings post-irradiation. Anticorrosion efficiencies after irradiation are maintained at 99.6% (H_2<
