Transparent Pullulan/Mica Nanocomposite Coatings with Outstanding Oxygen Barrier Properties

This study presents a new bionanocomposite coating on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) made of pullulan and synthetic mica. Mica nanolayers have a very high aspect ratio (α), at levels much greater than that of conventional exfoliated clay layers (e.g., montmorillonite). A very small amount of mica (0.02 wt %, which is ϕ ≈ 0.00008) in pullulan coatings dramatically improved the oxygen barrier...

Corrosion Protection Performance of Nanoclay-Polyester Nanocomposite Coatings

In this paper, polymer-based nanocomposites powder were applied on the surface of plain carbon steel by electrostatic device and then were cured by microwave. The effect of adding nanoparticles on the corrosion resistance properties of the coatings was investigated by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy and immersion test in 3.5 NaCl solution. Coatings structure and morphology of nanoparticl...

Nanocomposite Based Multifunctional Coatings

Advanced Characterisation of Nanocomposite Coatings

Nanocomposite coatings are systems comprised of two or more phases. Such multiphase coatings are becoming increasingly important as they offer the possibility of tailoring the coating architecture and achieving exciting new properties. An understanding of the coating nanostructure is important to complete the classic processing-structure-properties relationship and expedite the development of n...
