The intumescent retardant coating was fabricated by a combination of epoxy binder and flame-retardant ingredients for the steel plate. This paper investigates influence nanoclay content on improving fire properties fire-retardant coatings. performances coatings were determined test at 950oC one hour. degradation characterized Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). morphology, composition char stud...

Abstract Corrosion and icing are common problems in aerospace wind power fields. In order to improve the thermal hydrophobic properties of epoxy-based anticorrosive coatings expand application various working environments, modified graphene oxide (GO) was introduced into prepare GO/polyvinyl butyral/epoxy resin nanocomposite coatings. The preparation process coating optimized by response surfac...

The icing of glass insulators is likely to cause faults such as insulator flashover, which poses a serious threat the power system. Traditional deicing techniques have disadvantage being costly and inefficient. Herein, polytetrafluoroethylenes (PTFEs) nanoparticles epoxy fluorosilicone resins binders were blended construct an anti-icing coating. superhydrophobic (SHP) epoxy/fluorosilicone/PTFE ...

hydrocarbons are prone to bacterial and fungal contamination. bacteria and fungi live and proliferate in water droplets within the fuels and on surfaces surrounding them. this can cause corrosion in oil exploration and production, clogging of fuel lines in aviation and higher emissions in diesel combustion engines to state few examples. state-of-the-art is the addition of biocides to fuels, whi...

Epoxy and dicyclopentadien (DCPD) are two common healing agents, which are introduced into epoxy matrix through encapsulation in order to prepare self-healing composites. In a comparative study, the compatibility of healing agents and epoxy matrix is investigated through experimental tests and DFT calculations. The interaction energy is considered to be the determinative parameter in DFT calcul...

The degradation behavior of an actual marine epoxy-based organic coating for ballast tanks immersed in 3.5% NaCl solution at different temperatures was investigated by employing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and adhesion measurements. Elevated immersion temperature (e.g., 35, 45 55 °C) could greatly deteriorate protective performance, including barrier properties, wet strength, water u...

Metal corrosion is one of the most critical challenges in industrial processes. In this research, nanocomposite coating was synthesized by blending tungsten trioxide (WO3) nanoparticles with Epoxy resin and applied on brass samples to evaluate performance protection under stressed environments. A dip-coating method adopted coat sample's surface. Coated uncoated have been subjected tests study b...
