Effect of nano-Al2O3 particles on the corrosion behavior of alkyd based waterborne coatings

Abstract

A modification in the alkyd based waterborne coatings was studied with the addition of 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3% nano-Al 2 O 3 . Corrosion performance of the nano-composite coatings were evaluated by applying these nanocomposites on mild steel substrate and exposing them to salt spray, humidity, and accelerated weathering. Mechanical properties were studied by subjecting the coating to scratch and abrasion test. The results showed that, with an increase in the concentration of nano-Al 2 O 3 there was an improvement in the corrosion resistance, UV resistance, and mechanical properties of the coatings indicating the positive effect of addition of nano-Al 2 O 3 particles in the coatings. Further, the transparency of the coating was not altered, maintaining the optical clarity of the coating.

The improvement of corrosion resistance of fluoropolymer coatings by SiO2/poly(styrene-co-butyl acrylate) nanocomposite particles

“…The importance of nanoparticles compared to conventional micro sized fillers is mainly due to their small size and large specific surface area. The decrease in size of the particles causes mechanical properties enhancement of the coating [11][12][13]. Therefore, various nanoparticles have been employed as reinforcements to improve coatings performance under the corrosive environments, including TiO 2 [14], ZnO [15], CaCO 3 [16], Fe 2 O 3 [17], SiO 2 [18], and etc.…”

Effect of surface modified TiO2 nanoparticles on thermal, barrier and mechanical properties of long oil alkyd resin-based coatings

“…The influence of different nano-sized pigments on the properties of alkyd-based NCs was extensively investigated in the literature [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. It has been shown that application of zinc oxide (ZnO) as nanosized pigment improves mechanical and thermal properties [26] and corrosion resistance [27] of alkydbased coatings.…”

“…The presence of nanoferrite (Fe 3 O 4 ) in soy alkyd coating improved thermal stability, physico-mechanical properties and corrosion resistance [34]. The addition of aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) nano-sized pigment into the alkyd coatings improved its corrosion [35,36] and UV resistance and mechanical properties, without altering the optical clarity of the prepared coating [36]. Alkyd paint prepared using molybdenum oxide (MoO 3 ) NPs showed good antibacterial properties against pathogenic bacteria [37].…”

Antimicrobial and Thermal Properties of Coating Systems Modified with ZnO Nanoparticle and its Hybrid Forms: (A Review)

“…ZnO nanoparticle) possesses unique characteristics such as improved chemical, biological, semi-conductor properties and drug delivery. Nano-sized ZnO particles have also been found to be inert, non-toxic in nature and possess a blanket for UV radiation (due to its wide band gap of 3.37 eV, large bond strength and its heavy 60 meV excitation binding energy at room temperature) [15][16][17][18] . The inorganic amphoteric oxide (i.e.…”
