The presented paper is devoted to pigments of various chemical compositions and particles morphology surface-modified by polyaniline layer as corrosion inhibitors to coatings. They were synthetized of pigments on the spinel base, ferrites with contents of Zn, Mg and Ca cations with isometric and nonisometric forms of primary particles. These pigments were surface-modified with electrically conductive polymer, polyaniline, by the oxidative polymerization of aniline. The surface composition of coated pigments was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). For testing the properties of pigments prepared, the model coatings compositions were formulated using solvent-based alkyd resin. On the tested samples, corrosive tests were performed. The present research has shown that the presence of polyaniline has better efficiency in protection against corrosion than spinel-type pigments alone in the selected alkyd resin.
