Abstract
A new method for the preparation of metal-polymer composite materials is described. This new approach of doping of metals is based on the thermolysis of a zero-valent complex. Specifically, several polymer@Fe-composite powders were prepared and fully characterized. Iron doped with polydimethylsiloxane showed remarkable stability to air oxidation and to corrosion under simulated seawater conditions. A corrosion-proof polymer@iron composite was obtained by thermolysis of Fe(CO)5. This work adds to the diversity of applications demonstrated for the new field of entrapment of polymers within metal matrices.
