The self-healing and anticorrosion effects of cerium nitrate in epoxy-clay nanocomposite coatings systems were studied. Different amounts of cerium (III) were added to epoxy-montmorillonite clay composites and the nanocomposite coatings were prepared and applied on cold rolled steel panels. Ultrasonication was applied to disperse the nanoclay into the epoxy cerium nitrate composition. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to study the self-healing and anticorrosion behaviors of the coatings. The structure of the dry coating and the protective mechanism of the pigments in the coating were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis and field emission electron microscopy (FESEM). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) illustrated the separation of clay layers which interacted with the epoxy resin. Electrochemical impedance data indicated that the epoxy cerium (III)-montmorillonite nanocomposite coatings were superior to the epoxy coatings in corrosion protection properties. The self-healing behavior of such coatings was due to the presence of cerium nitrate that could be released at the defects within the coating and hindered the corrosion reactions at the defective sites. It was shown that the best corrosion protection was achieved with nanocomposite coatings containing 4 wt% clay and 2 wt% cerium nitrate.
