“…The main reason for using the fluoroacrylic polymer-MWCNT nanocomposite was the fact that our earlier studies indicated that the fluoroacrylic polymer (Capstone ST-100 or ST-110) has a good degree of compatibility with MWCNTs or carbon nanofibers [54], in the sense that asreceived MWCNTs do not need chemical wall functionalization for dispersing in solutions containing the fluoropolymer if the solution preparation is achieved with the use of proper solvents [54]. At the same time the polymer itself has good adhesive properties to polar surfaces such as glass, metals and ceramics [9,35].…”

“…As such we argue that the melting of ABS matrix served two purposes. The first was to improve substrate adhesion and the second was the better encapsulation of the nanofillers [27,54]. After melting, the surface features were inspected by SEM under higher magnification and nanoscale features due to silica nanoparticles could be identified as shown at the bottom panel of Fig.…”

Bayer, Analysis of wear abrasion resistance of superhydrophobic acrylonitrile butadiene styrene rubber (ABS) nanocomposites, Chemical Engineering Journal (2015), doi: http://dx.ABSTRACT Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene rubber (ABS) superhydrophobic nanocomposites containing various concentrations of hydrophobic silica nanoparticles were obtained by solution processing and spray coating on aluminum surfaces. Wear abrasion resistance measurements were conducted on the superhydrophobic nanocomposites as function of silica nanoparticle concentration. A remarkable increase in coating wear abrasion resistance (1700 linear abrasion cycles under 20.5 kPa) was measured when the nanocomposite coatings were fortified with a synthetic rubber resin adhesive Plasti Dip™. Detailed wetting measurements before and during abrasion cycles were performed. Changes in surface microtexture were monitored with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as well as confocal microscopy for surface roughness changes. Wear abrasion of sufficiently thick coatings indicated that there was wear similarity (maintenance of hierarchical texture) throughout the coating thickness during cyclic abrasion. Thermal resistance of the coatings was improved by applying a thin primer layer containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes dispersed in a fluoracrylic polymer solution (Capstone ST-110). The superhydrophobicity of the coatings did not degrade until 420 o C. Simplicity of the process and commercial availability of the materials in large scale can open many practical applications of this coating material system in which water-repellent, wear abrasion resistance is needed particularly for metal surfaces.2

“…After drying under ambient conditions, hydrophobic MWCNTpolymer nanocomposites form with high electrical conductivity. The coatings can be transformed into super-hydrophobic state by melting the fl uorinated acrylic copolymer at 160 °C on a hot plate or by impinging a small diffusion fl ame against the fi lms [66] . Transformation into super-hydrophobicity does not alter electrical properties of the nanocomposites.…”

Incorporation of nanofillers into the organic coatings might enhance their barrier performance, by decreasing the porosity and zigzagging the diffusion path for deleterious species. Thus, the coatings containing nanofillers are expected to have significant barrier properties for corrosion protection and reduce the trend for the coating to blister or delaminate. On the other hand, high hardness could be obtained for metallic coatings by producing the hard nanocrystalline phases within a metallic matrix. This article presents a review on recent development of nanocomposite coatings, providing an overview of nanocomposite coatings in various aspects dealing with the classification, preparative method, the nanocomposite coating properties, and characterization methods. It covers potential applications in areas such as the anticorrosion, antiwear, superhydrophobic area, self-cleaning, antifouling/antibacterial area, and electronics. Finally, conclusion and future trends will be also reported.
