Improved Corrosion Resistance of Steel in Ethanol Fuel Blend by Titania Nanoparticles and Aganonerion polymorphum Leaf Extract.

ABSTRACT: A porous and low-density protective film on a steel surface in the corrosive environment can undergo deterioration even in the presence of organic inhibitors due to infiltration of aggressive ions into the pinholes and/or pores. This phenomenon is related to the localized corrosion that takes place even in the presence of an optimal concentration of organic corrosion inhibitors in the given medium. To overcome this issue, we have designed an organic protective film on a steel surface with the help of titania nanoparticles (TNPs) combined with an organic corrosion inhibitor derived from Aganonerion polymorphum leaf extract (APLE), all to be studied in a simulated ethanol fuel blend (SEFB). The TNPs with varied diameters and concentrations have been studied for examining their effect
