Abstract
A new nano-coating of chitosan nanoparticles/polyvinylpyrrolidone/cobalt oxide nanoparticles (CSNPs/PVP/CoONPs) was performed in this work. The newly designed nano-coating comprises a copolymer and inorganic matrices. This nano-coating was used to cover the Ti-6Al-4V alloy surface as a newly designed dental alloy, and then its corrosion properties were studied through different electrochemical techniques. The results reveal that this novel coating improved the corrosion resistance of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy in artificial saliva solution by reaching 17.7 MΩ cm2. The new fabricated biocompatible coating (CSNPs/PVP/CoONPs) greatly enhanced the electrochemical corrosion resistance by giving a high protection efficiency of 90.87% and a low hydrogen evolution rate in artificial saliva solution at 37 °C. The observed results were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Vickers microhardness testing, coating thickness tests, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX).
