The synergistic effect of an imidazolium salt and benzotriazole on the protection of bronze surfaces with chitosan-based coatings
The class of imidazolium salts contains effective anticorrosion additives for metal substrates. This study evaluated the potential of 1-carboxymethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide (HO2CC1MImNTf2) for application in cultural heritage, exploring it as anticorrosion additive in chitosan-based coatings for the protection of copper-based alloys. Under accelerated corrosion conditions with HCl vapor, the chitosan coating with HO2CC1MImNTf2 was less effective than the one with benzotriazole. The coating with a combination of HO2CC1MImNTf2 and benzotriazole resulted in the optimal protective efficacy of the bronze surface, and it also maintained high transparency without changing the bronze appearance.
