摘要

This study reports the development and evaluation of hybrid SiO2-based coatings modified with polyurethane, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and dimethyldiethoxysilane (DMDES) using the sol–gel process for the corrosion protection of API 5L X52 steel. The coatings were applied by dip-coating at controlled withdrawal rates and tested in single and multilayer systems. Characterization was performed by SEM, AFM, and FT-IR, while electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to assess corrosion resistance. Results show that multilayer coatings applied at 10 cm/min exhibited strong adhesion and barrier properties. The TEOS–PDMS–DMDES system achieved the lowest RMS roughness (2.045 nm) and provided enhanced corrosion resistance for up to 312 h in Na2SO4 solution, surpassing conventional hybrid coatings. These findings demonstrate that hybrid sol–gel coatings combining inorganic and organic phases can effectively improve the durability of steels exposed to aggressive environments.
