Investigation Effect of Zinc Nanoparticles on The Mechanical and Anticorrosion Properties of Epoxy Coatings on Stainless Steel Surface

In this study, effects of zinc nanoparticles (ZNPs) on the mechanical properties epoxy coatings and anticorrosion behavior stainless steel were investigated. The nanocomposites (NCs) obtained by adding ZNPs (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 wt%) to resin. first stage in bulk samples prepared for tensile test DSC, TGA, FTIR, SEM analysis. analysis performed separately cured at room temperature 24 h postcured 80 °C 15 oven. results indicated that both postcuring caused an increase matrix. Tensile strength increased 13.2% 90.2% NC (1.0% Zn) untreated (0.5% respectively. NCs with same parameters second coated AISI 304 panels anticorrosive performance was studied immersion test. According corrosion results, it observed surface preserves best rate 1.0% containing composite. addition, impact resistance, flexibilities adhesion coating analyzed.
