Epoxy is a versatile resin used in different fields such as coatings, colors, colorants, and composites. Adding nano-scale fillers/additives to the epoxy has valued epoxy coatings for engineering applications, and opened the time of advanced epoxy-based nanocomposite coatings. In the present work, graphene oxide GO was chemically functionalized with starch, as a natural polymer, and added to th...

In this paper, graphene oxide decorated with cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles was prepared and used as anticorrosive pigments in epoxy nanocomposite coatings. The synthesized nanoparticle was characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, and EDX analyses. Graphene oxide decorated with CeO2 nanoparticles was dispersed in epoxy resin by sonication. The optimum nanoparticle content of th...

The epoxy coatings containing multi-walled carbon nanotube/ poly ortho aminophenol nanocomposite were prepared and used as anticorrosive coatings. The nanocomposites with different contents of carbon nanotube were synthesized in a solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate and ammonium peroxy disulfate as a surfactant and an oxidant, respectively. The morphology and structural properties were confirmed...

Montmorillonite (MMT) clay mineral is widely used as filler for several organic coatings. Its activity is increased by exfoliation via chemical modification to produce nanomaterials. In the present work, the modification of MMT to form nanogel composites is proposed to increase the dispersion of MMT into epoxy matrices used to fill cracks and holes produced by the curing exotherms of epoxy resi...

Two component, waterbased epoxy coatings can be classified by the type of epoxy resin employed. Low molecular weight, liquid epoxy systems are commonly referred to as Type I, whereas systems based on higher molecular weight, solid epoxy dispersions are referred to as Type II. This paper will focus on coatings based on both types of resins. In the first case, novel curing agent technology for us...

in recent years many research works have been carried out on anti-corrosive nanocomposites coatings containing mineral reinforcements. the most important criteria in these attempts are polymerization method and the type of matrix and reinforcement of nanocomposites. in this regard, the physical and mechanical properties of the polymers in which a small amount of filler is used can be improved. ...

Novel self-repairing Urea-Phenol-Formaldehyde (UPF) microcapsules containing linseed oil were prepared via in-situ polymerization in an oil-in-water emulsion. The main purpose of encapsulation is to control the release of linseed oil, when external conditions such as mechanical stress or energy cause microcapsules to break. These controlled release mechanisms of linseed oil make them suitable f...

In this study a series of epoxy/silica nanocomposites were prepared by using nano silica particles which had different surface modifications. The morphology of the nanocomposite coatings was characterized by scanning electron microscopy SEM. The effects of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic feature of the nano particles on the Tg and anticorrosive properties of nanocomposite coatings were evaluate...

Trace metals, especially copper, are commonly occurring contaminants in harbors and marinas. One source of copper to these environs is copper-based antifouling coatings used on vessel hulls. The objective of this study was to measure dissolved copper contributions from recreational vessel antifouling coatings for both passive leaching and hull cleaning activities. To accomplish this goal, three...
