In Figures 11a and b we can see an example of a
POSS-silanated silica/PVC coating adsorbed on a steel
substrate of type AISI 316L. Figure 12 further presents
potentiodynamic measurements of these coatings in a
3.5 % NaCl solution at room temperature indicating an
improved anticorrosion behaviour in a chloride-ion-rich
environment as compared to the clean AISI 316L
surface. Potentiodynamic curves reflect the decreased
corrosion-current densities and corrosion potentials for
the silica/PVC-coated AISI 316L substrates.
