摘要

A composite coating of branched polyethylenimine (BPEI) and urushiol was fabricated on magnesium alloy via layer-by-layer self-assembly to improve corrosion resistance. The coating’s morphology and composition were characterized by SEM, EDS, and FT-IR, revealing a uniform, dense structure. Hydrophobicity was confirmed by water contact angle measurements. Electrochemical tests showed the coating significantly enhanced corrosion resistance: corrosion current density (Icorr) decreased by three orders of magnitude (1.666 × 10−7 A cm−2), corrosion potential (Ecorr) shifted positively by ~ 0.12 V (− 1.386 V), and charge transfer resistance (Rct) increased to 19,247 Ω cm2. The coating acts as an effective physical barrier, demonstrating the potential of this method for magnesium alloy protection.
