Abstract

Bismaleimide (BMI) resins are a new breed of thermosetting resins used mainly for high temperature applications and have major usage in aerospace. BMI polymer coatings were deposited on aluminum and mild steel substrates. The effect of corrosion on mild steel and aluminum by Ringers Solution and there protection using BMI coatings were observed. X-ray diffraction studies showed crystalline nature of the BMI coatings. Surface contact angle measurements were carried out using goniometer.
