Effects of TiO2 Nanoparticles on the Overall Performance and Corrosion Protection Ability of Neat Epoxy and PDMS Modified Epoxy Coating Systems

Recently Emerging Nanotechnological Advancements in Polymer Nanocomposite Coatings for Anti-corrosion, Anti-fouling and Self-healing

“…PNC coatings are applied on surfaces via three main depositing techniques, vis-a-viz mechanically, physically, as well as chemical depositing techniques [27] . Mechanical depositing technique is relatively low cost, and attained via painting, spraying, dip-coating or spin-coating.…”

“…Attaining adherence via surface-activated bonding (SAB) is feasible at lower temperatures and pressures for scrubed atomic flattend, and polished surfaces. Moreso, selective laser sintering (SLS) is a novel additive manufacturing technique inferred as tri-dimensionally (3D) routed printing method where a material is structured in a layering order [27] . Another physical bonding technique is condensation, and conventionally conducted on a vacuum like in physical vapour deposition (PVD), which is conducted at normal pressure parameters, similar to liquid phase epitaxy (LPE).…”

“…Another physical bonding technique is condensation, and conventionally conducted on a vacuum like in physical vapour deposition (PVD), which is conducted at normal pressure parameters, similar to liquid phase epitaxy (LPE). Chemical adhering techniques potend to be lower in cost, however, require expensive precursors, including atomically layered deposition (ALD), Langmuir, and sol-gel [27] .…”

“…Hence, an inversely infusive procedure referred as (IIP) was used in constructing hierarchical architectures through novel synthesis of epoxy resin with alumina nanoparticles (NPs). Results revealed that this coating resisted highly corrosive environment, containing sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid solutions with high potentials for use as anti-fouling, self-cleaning, and anti-icing coating system [82] .…”

The influence of size and healing content on the performance of extrinsic self‐healing coatings

“…Polymeric coatings are employed to provide specific functionalities such as particular colors, certain roughness, gloss, thermal protection, hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity. 35,36 The compatibility between a substrate and its coating is the first important factor to provide acceptable adhesion, which leads to long-term protection against corrosion of the substrate. 34 An ideal condition for metallic substrates is the coating performing efficiently during the lifetime of the substrate.…”
