The study focuses on improving the corrosion resistance of 316 L stainless steel (SS) using a novel coating made from polymeric nanofibers blended with curcumin quantum dots (CMQD) via electrospinning.
Tests showed that the PAN-CMQD coated samples significantly reduced corrosion in a saltwater environment compared to uncoated 316 L SS and demonstrated excellent stability over a 30-day period with no pit formation.
The findings suggest that this method of using anticorrosive nanofibrous coatings could be a cost-effective solution for enhancing the durability of metals in various industries.
