Anticorrosion properties of nanocomposites coatings: A critical review

Corrosion is a costly and possibly unsafe issue in numerous fields. Nowadays, the using of nanocomposites coatings as an adequate approach to protect the steel from corrosion becomes a target for many researchers. The present review explores the potential use of nanocomposites coatings for corrosion control. Recent studies in the field of corrosion inhibition were reviewed here. Numerous factors influencing on the nanocomposite coatings performance such as types of nano-materials, size, concentrations, mixing, and additives were described. This review focuses on alkyd resin, epoxy resin and polyurethane composites. Additionally, we addressed the new materials in the design of nanocomposites coatings and discussed future potential approaches. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
