Synthetic polymer nano-film coating efficacy evaluation in prevention of chemicals induced corrosion of monuments

One of the most notable adverse effects of acidifying air quality is damage to materials exposed to the atmosphere. Systematic fields and laboratory experiments have been done to understand the mechanisms underlying the impacts of pollutants on the measurement of damage and estimate the cost of damage. In this study, authors have synthesized nano polymer film, which is transparent, resistant to acids and flexible. The as-synthesized nano polymer film was characterized using UV-Visible Spectroscopy, FTIR Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Coating of the nano polymer film was done onto various monuments stone samples and studied their corrosion in the presence of acids.
