Abstract
Mild steel is protected by polymeric coating of polybutadiene. But this coating is not shaved mild steel in moist air, sulphur dioxide and chloride environment. These pollutants interact with polybutadiene-coated mild steel and create hostile atmosphere their surroundings. Moist air accommodates on the surface of polymeric-coated metal which absorb sulphur dioxide to form sulphuric acid. It produces chemical and electrochemical reaction with polymeric-coated metal and accelerates corrosion reaction. Chloride ions are entered inside by osmosis or diffusion process and develop corrosion cell on metal surface. Oxygen deficiency occurs inside and outside of polymeric-coated mild steel thus corrosion cell automatically produced. These pollutants in this ways start interior and exterior corrosion of polymeric-coated metal. These pollutants rupture internal bond of polybutadiene and produce disbonding between base metal and coating material. Metal exhibits various form of corrosion like galvanic, pitting, stress, crevice, blistering, embrittlement etc. Nanocoating and filler technique used to mitigate corrosion of materials in such corrosive environment. Octahydrodibenzo[a,d][8]annulene-5,12-dihydrazone used a nanocoating material whereas MgS as filler. Corrosion rate of polymeric-coated mild steel was determined by gravimetric methods and corrosion potential, corrosion current and corrosion current density were calculated by potentiostat. Nozzle sprays used for nanocoating. The surface adsorption phenomenon studied with application Langmuir isotherm and Arrhenius equation. Surface deposition and bond formation of nanocoating and filler materials were understand by activation energy, heat of adsorption, free energy, enthalpy and entropy. The experimental results surface coverage area and coating efficiency were shown that the used nanocoating and filler materials were developed composite thin film barrier on surface of polybutadiene-coated mild steel.

Introduction
Corrosion protection of materials is very difficult tack. It is not fully control but this effect is minimized by the application of corrosion mitigation techniques. It is necessary for materials manufacturing industries to monitor carefully their internal morphology, shape and design. Materials can be synthesized Bhadra S et al. [1] as per need of surrounding environment Szabo T [2] which does not change their physical, chemical and biological properties Wen NT et al. [3] and provide thermal stability, durability, capability, resistance power against corrosive medium Boerio FJ et al. [4]. Materials corrosion protection Deveci H [5] check with application of coatings, inhibitors, sacrificial anodic protection and impressed current process are in ambient environment Genzer J et al. [6]. There are various types of coating available like metallic, nonmetallic, polymeric and paint. Such coatings do not protect materials longer times. Inhibitors Leon Silva U et al. [7] are used to control corrosion of metal in petroleum industries. Inhibitors are utilized in several forms Baier RE [8] like organic, inorganic and mixed types inhibitors which are related to anodic as well as cathodic. Their application Rao BVA et al. [9] can be done in the form Liu XY et al. [10] of solid, liquid and gas as requirement of corrosive medium. Electron rich compounds Liao QQ et al. [11] alkane, alkene, alkyne, cyclic, aromatic and heterocyclic contain nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur are used as organic inhibitors in petroleum industries Zhang DQ et al. [12], sugar industries Sahoo RR et al. [13], phosphate industries Raman R et al. [14], pulp and paper industries Li D G et al. [15] to control the corrosion of mild steel Cristiani P et al. [16] and stainless steel Cristiani P et al. [17]. These inhibitors do not provide protection longer periods Videla H et al. [18]. Metallic pipe corrosion Bibber JW et al. [19] is mitigated by anodic protection and impressed current but they do not give good results in aggressive medium Ghareba GS et al. [20] . Aloe Vera is used check corrosion metallic can Singh RK [21] which contain beverages, orange juice, milk and vegetables. It works as natural inhibitor. In acidic soil the life of earthworms Singh RK [22] become miserable such environment their life can be protected by the application aloe vera juice. Human skin is face corrosion problem in mega and metro cities environment such corrosion is control by the use of aloe vera and turmeric coating. Nanocoating and filler compounds Singh RK [23] are used to control the corrosion of polymeric-coated metal in ambient of effluents.

Results and Discussion
Octahydrobenzo[a,d][8]annulene-5,12-dihydrazone was nanocoated on the surface of polybutadiene-coated mild steel and their porosities were blocked by MgS filler. The corrosion of metal was determined in marine water in three stages, one polybutadiene-coated mild steel, second nanocoated octahydrobenzo [a,d][8]annulene5,12-dihydrazone and third was coated with MgS. The corrosion rate of each material was calculated by weight loss formula K(mmpy)= 3.56 W / D A t (where W = weight loss of test coupon expressed in kg, A = area of test coupon in square meter, D = Density of the material in kg. m-1) at 283, 293, 303, 312 and 3230K temperatures and time mentioned 3, 5, 8, 11 and 14days. Their corrosion rate recorded in Table 1 and the results of Table 1 indicated that in marine water corrosion rate of polybutadien e-coated mild steel increased but its values decreased with the nanocoating of nanocoated and filler compounds. The plot between K(mmpy) versus t(days) in Figure15 confirmed the above mentioned trends. The corrosion rate of poybutadiene increased with nanocoated octahydrobenzo[a,d][8]dihydrazone but this decreased with MgS filler, it observed different intervial of times. Polybutadiene- coated mild steel face sever crevice corrosion problem due to depletion of O2 inside and outside of polybutadiene. The use of nanocoating of octahydrobenzo[a,d][8]dihydrazone and MgS filler create composite thin film barrier which is more stable in marine water. This barrier is thermally stable and suppresses the attack of corrosive ions. MgS is active compounds which are entered into porosities of octahydrobenzo[a,d][8]annulene5,12- dihydrazone and forms complex this nitrogen containing compound. This surface film attaches with base materials by chemical bonding and forms a passive layer. There was Studied the effect of temperatures at 283, 293, 303, 313 and 3230K on polybutadiene-coated mild steel and after nanocoated with octahydrodibenzo[a,d][8]annulene-5,12-dihydrazone and MgS filler, it was observed that with the rise of temperatures corrosion enhanced but nanocoating and filler compounds reduced their values. This effect clearly depicted in Table 1 and Figure16 which plotted between logK verse 1/T.
The values of log(θ/1-θ) for octahydrodibenzo[a,d][8] annulene-5,12-dihydrazone and MgS filler mentioned in Table 1 at different temperatures, it was found that log(θ/1-θ) decreased with nanocoating material as increasing temperatures but its values increased with filer as shown in Table 1 and Figure 17 which plotted between log(θ/1-θ) versus 1/T . The nanocoating and filler compounds developed a non osmosis barrier that neutralized the attack of Cl- ions and H2CO3. The surface coverage areas were covered by octahydrodibenzo[a,d][8]annulene- 5,12- dihydrazone and MgS filler at various temperatures and calculated by formula θ = (1- K / Ko) (where K is the corrosion rate before coating and Ko is the corrosion rate after coating) and their values were written in Table 1. It was observed that nanocoating compound increased surface coverage area but filler improved the mitigation character of surface coverage area. Such types of trends noticed in Figure 18 which plotted between e(surface coverage area) versus T(temperature). The percentage coating efficiency of octahydrodibenzo[a,d][8]annulene-5,12- dihydrazone and MgS filler were calculated by formula, %CE = (1 - K / Ko) X 100 (where CE = coating efficiency , K = Corrosion rate with coating, Ko = corrosion rate without coating) and its values were mentioned in Table 1. These results show that nanocoating and filler compounds increased coating efficiency but filler enhanced more efficiency. Figure 19 plotted between %CE (percentage coating efficiency) versus T (temperature), it was observed that MgS filler increased coating efficiency of nanocoating compound in marine water.
Activation energy of polybutadiene-coated mild steel, octahydrodibenzo[a,d][8]annulene-5,12-dihydrazone and MgS filler were calculated by Figure 18. 8.2 and Arrhenius equation, d /dt (logK)=Ea / R T2 (where T is temperature in Kelvin, R is universal gas constant and Ea is the activation energy of the reaction). The values of activation energies were expressed in Table 2 and plot between logK versus 1/T found to be straight lines in figure 16. The positive values of activation energy indicated that nanocoated and filler compounds developed a thin film by chemical bonding. At higher temperature, activation energy reduced so both compounds formed stable barrier on the surface of base material. Heat of adsorption of octahydrodibenzo[a,d] [8]annulene-5,12-dihydrazone and MgS filler were obtained by Langmuir equation, log (θ/ 1-θ) = log (A .C) - (q/ 2.303R T) ( where T is temperature in Kelvin and q heat of adsorption) and Figure 18. 8.3 a linear graph between log (θ/ 1-θ) verse 1/T. Their values mentioned in Table 2 confirmed that nanocoating and filler compounds attached with base material by chemical bonding. Free energy of octahydrodibenzo[a,d][8]annulene- 5,12- dihydrazone and MgS filler were determined by formula, ΔG = -2.303RT log (33.3K) (where R is universal gas constant, T be temperature and K corrosion rate) and their recorded values in Table 2 gave information during coating exothermic reaction occurred. The results of Table 2 noticed that nanocoating and filler compounds were adhered with base material by chemical bonding.
Enthalpy and entropy of octahydrodibenzo[a,d][8]annulene- 5,12- dihydrazone and MgS filler were calculated by transition state equation, K = R T / N h log (ΔS# / R) X log (-ΔH #/ R T) (where N is Avogadro's constant, h is Planck's constant, ΔS# is the change of entropy activation and ΔH # is the change of enthalpy activation) and Figure 20 a linear graph between log(K/) versus 1/T and their values were written in Table 2. Nanocoating and filler compounds exhibited negative values of enthalpy and entropy. This sign indicated that coating is an exothermic process. Nanocoating and filler compounds were accommodated on the surface of base material by chemical bonding. Entropy values determined that filler compound arranged into matrix of nanocoating compound in ordered manner. Enthalpy and entropy of nanocoating of octahydrodibenzo[a,d][8]annulene- 5,12- dihydrazone and ZnS filler indicate that the coating of both compounds is exothermic process. The results of all thermal parameters like activation energy, heat of adsorption, free energy, enthalpy and entropy at different temperatures were written in Table 2 and their graph plotted in Figure 21. After analysis of the results of all thermal parameters, it was found that surface coverage area increased as temperatures enhanced. The nanocoating and filler compounds formed thin surface film barrier on polybutadiene by chemical bonding that barrier stopped osmosis or diffusion process of marine water. Potentiostat polarization results of polybutadiene-coated mild steel, octahydrodibenzo[a,d][8]annulene-5,12-dihydrazine and MgS filler were calculated by formula, ΔE/ΔI = βa βc / 2.303 Icorr (βa + βc) (where AE/AI is the slope which linear polarization resistance (Rp), βa and βc are anodic and cathodic Tafel slope respectively and I is the corrosion current density in mA/cm2 ) and Tafel plot between ΔE(mV, electrode potential) versus l(mA/ cm2, corrosion current density) in Figure 22 and their values were recorded in Table 3. It was observed that electrode potential and anodic current density was high with polybutadiene-coated mild steel but these values decreased with nanocoaing and filler compounds. Both compounds enhanced cathodic current density and reduced electrode potential. Corrosion current of polybutadiene-coated mild, octahydrodibenzo [a,d][8]annulene- 5,12- dihydrazone and MgS filler were obtained by above equation and their values were put in equation, C. R (mmpy) = 0.1288 Icorr (mA /cm2) x Eq .Wt (g) / ρ (g/cm3) (where Icorr is the corrosion current density ρ is specimen density and Eq.Wt is specimen equivalent weight) produced corrosion rate.
The corrosion rate of all three materials were given in Table 3, it was observed that corrosion rate of polybutadiene- coated mild steel were high but these values were decreased with nanocoating and filler compounds. MgS filler enhanced cathodic current density and percentage coating efficiency with respect of octahydrodibenzo[a,d][8]annulene-5,12- dihydrazone. Filler compound reduced more corrosion rate with octahydrodibenzo[a,d][8]annulene-5,12-dihydrazone. Nanocoating and filler form a composite thin film on the surface of polybutadiene-coated mild steel during coating and its stability is good in hostile marine water The results were obtained by weight loss experiment for polybutadiene-coated mild steel in marine water by nanocoating of octahydrodibenzo[a,d][8] annulene-5,12-dihydrazone and MgS were tally with the results of potentiostat.
Conclusion
Octahydrodibenzo[a,d][8]annulene-5,12-dihydrazone and MgS filler used for the corrosion protection of polybutadiene- coated mild steel. These materials formed coating composite coating barrier on the surface of base polybutadiene-coated mild steel. Nanocaoting compounds and filler compounds thermals parameters were indicated that composite surface barrier creation was exothermic process. The corrosive environment did not produce corrosion cell. The coating efficiencies and surface coverage area of nanocoating and filler compounds enhanced in different temperatures, atmosphere and weather changes.
