Abstract
Perhydropolysilazane (PHPS) is a polymer with [–SiH2–NH–]n repeating units. By pyrolysis with PHPS as a precursor, highly adhesive and protective silicon oxynitride (SiON)-based coatings were synthesized. The formation of Si–O–Si bonds increased with pyrolysis temperature. Both the hardness and Young's modulus of the PHPS-derived coatings were enhanced at higher pyrolysis temperatures. The PHPS-derived coatings significantly enhanced the corrosion resistance of low carbon steel in a 0.6 M NaCl aqueous solution, especially for the coatings with the formation of extensive Si-O-Si bonds. The PHPS-derived coating at the pyrolysis temperature of 600 °C exhibited the best resistance to corrosion and tribocorrosion.
