Abstract

An epoxy nano-composite coating was developed using amine functionalized nZnO (in the amount of 2.5 %, 5.0 % and 7.5 wt %) as the dispersed phase and a commercially available epoxy resin as the matrix phase. The structural features of these materials were ascertained by FT-IR spectral studies. The anti-corrosive properties of the epoxy/nZnO hybrid coatings in comparison with a virgin coating were investigated by a salt spray test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique. The surface morphology determined by SEM, indicates that nZnO particles were dispersed homogenously through the epoxy polymer matrix. The results showed improved antifouling and anticorrosive properties for epoxy-nZnO hybrid coatings.
