Overview

Novel nanofiber coatings enhance corrosion resistance and antimicrobial actions in water systems, suggesting effective metal protection.

Key Points

  • The aim is to develop a dual-function coating that combines antimicrobial properties with corrosion resistance.
  • Developed nanofiber coatings using electrospun polycaprolactone and halloysite nanotubes with Ag-Cu nanoclusters.
  • Tested coating performance in artificial seawater under both abiotic and biotic conditions.
  • Measured corrosion current densities and antimicrobial efficacy against several pathogens.
  • Ag-CuNC/HNT–PCL coating showed superior corrosion protection compared to bare copper and neat PCL.
  • Lowest corrosion current density recorded for the nanocomposite was 7.29 × 10 −6 A cm −2.
  • Ag-Cu nanoclusters significantly inhibited Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation by 94.5% when free and 61% when incorporated.
