Research on anti-corrosion coating technologies and computer modeling of corrosion processes

Abstract

The article discusses modern approaches to protecting building structures and materials from corrosion using polymer and silicone coatings. It is shown that the treatment of the exterior walls of buildings with silicone-containing materials provides hydrophobic properties, increases resistance to moisture and corrosion factors, while maintaining the vapor permeability of structures. Particular attention is paid to polymer materials such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, and polymer compositions based on dispersion film-forming systems, which are widely used to protect metal, reinforced concrete, and building elements in aggressive environments. The paper presents mathematical models of corrosion processes, including corrosion kinetics, diffusion of aggressive substances through protective coatings, degradation of polymer materials, and electrochemical mechanisms of corrosion. Regression analysis, finite element methods, and differential equations were used to predict the durability of protective coatings. Python software has been developed using the Streamlit platform, which allows analyzing corrosion parameters, comparing materials, and evaluating the effectiveness of protective systems. The results obtained confirm the prospects of using polymer coatings and mathematical modeling to increase the reliability and durability of building and metal structures.
