Abstract:

Coating technology is widely recognized as the most cost-effective and efficient method of preventing metal corrosion. Polymers have been regarded as a powerful coating material owing to their excellent barrier qualities, simplicity of modification, and large-scale production. Nanomaterials differ significantly from their physical and chemical properties, and have been hailed as highly promising functional materials in a wide range of applications, affecting nearly every aspect of science and technology. The addition of organic or inorganic nanofiller particles to polymer nanocomposite coatings may improve corrosion protection and lower the possibility of blistering or delamination. High hardness for polymer coatings, on the other hand, could be achieved by forming hard nanocrystalline phases inside the matrix. This article provides an overview of recent developments in polymer nanocomposite coatings in terms of their history, coating methods, properties, features, and drawbacks.

Abstract:

Conducting polymers, such as polyaniline (PANi) and polypyrrole (PPy), and their nanocomposites, are desired in a wide range of applications, including supercapacitors, lithium ion battery, chemical sensors, biosensors, barrier thin films, and coatings, because of their interesting electrical and electrochemical properties. It is well known that the properties of polymer nanocomposites depend on their chemical structure, as well as their microstructure, yet scientists and engineers have not fully understood how to properly control the structure of polymer nanocomposites. In this study, it is shown that the structure of polyaniline–montmorillonite clay nanocomposites (PACN) can be controlled by varying the ammonium persulfate (APS, oxidant) concentration. The structure of polyaniline and Cloisite 20A clay are, therefore, profoundly affected during the synthesis of PACN nanocomposites. The thickness of polyaniline crystal decreased with increasing oxidant concentration. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to determine the oxidation state of PANi. The structure of the nanocomposites was studied by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis of polyimide nanocomposite coatings containing PACN with varying levels of intercalation and exfoliation indicate that the coating impedance decreased with exposure time for some coating systems. It is shown that polyimide–PACN nanocomposite coating containing highly intercalated clay was more durable and maintained constant impedance after 20 weeks of exposure in a corrosive medium.

Abstract:

A technique for the formation of gelatin thin films and composite coatings with silicon dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles by spin coating has been developed. New data of the morphology and structural characteristics of the formed gelatin and nanocomposite films were obtained by atomic force microscopy. The dependences of the roughness parameters of composite coatings on the content of silicon dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles in the polymer matrix are presented. It has been shown that the introduction of inorganic nanoparticles into the gelatin structure makes it possible to form nanocomposites with a rough surface. It has been established that the silicon dioxide nanoparticles incorporation leads to hydrophobization of the surface of polymer-inorganic films based on gelatin. Modification with zinc oxide nanoparticles (up to 8 mg per 1 mg of gelatin) improves the wettability of nanocomposite coatings with water.

Abstract:

Recently, organic-inorganic hybrid nanocomposite materials have been of great interest for their extraordinary performances due to the combination of the advantageous properties of polymers and the size dependent properties of nanocrystals (NCs). Interaction between the polymer matrix and nanocrystalline fillers produces wonderful features, viz. thermal, magnetic, mechanical, electrical and optical properties to these materials. Modern applications require a new design of responsive functional coatings which is capable of changing their properties in a controlled way. However, the synthesis of II-VI nanoparticles into the polymer matrix of its nanocomposites with adjustable sizes and protected from photo-oxidation is a big challenge to the scientific community. It is difficult to synthesize the highly enhanced luminescence in polymers and its semiconductor nanocomposite systems. Luminescence from the polymer embedded II-VI nanoparticles is greatly enhanced and better stability can be achieved from the composite compared to bulk materials. The formation of nanocomposites can be confirmed by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. It is an important technique for determining the optical gap, purity, crystalline quality defects and analysis of the quantum confinement in these nanocomposite materials. In this paper, we have reviewed the present status of II-VI polymer nanocomposites from the photoluminescence studies point of view. We have also shown the results of the PL of these nanocomposite materials and the results will be compared with the reported literature by other groups.Contents of Paper

Abstract:

This article presents a state-of-the-art overview on indispensable aspects of polymer/nanowire nanocomposites. Nanowires created from polymers, silver, zinc, copper, nickel, and aluminum have been used as reinforcing agents in conducting polymers and non-conducting thermoplastic/thermoset matrices such as polypyrrole, polyaniline, polythiophene, polyurethane, acrylic polymers, polystyrene, epoxy and rubbers. This review presents the combined influence of polymer matrix and nanowires on the nanocomposite characteristics. This review shows how the nanowire, the nanofiller content, the matrix type and processing conditions affect the final nanocomposite properties. The ensuing multifunctional polymer/nanowire nanocomposites have high strength, conductivity, thermal stability, and other useful photovoltaic, piezo, and sensing properties. The remarkable nanocomposite characteristics have been ascribed to the ordered nanowire structure and the development of a strong interface between the matrix/nanofiller. This review also refers to cutting edge application areas of polymer/nanowire nanocomposites such as solar cells, light emitting diodes, supercapacitors, sensors, batteries, electromagnetic shielding materials, biomaterials, and other highly technical fields. Modifying nanowires and incorporating them in a suitable polymer matrix can be adopted as a powerful future tool to create useful technical applications.

Abstract:

AbstractA core-shell of colloidal metal-responsive polymer provides an innovative model in functional materials. These core-shell nanocomposites offer the possibility to control some properties, such as particle size, surface plasmon resonance and morphology. In this research, we demonstrate the successful synthesis and functionality of gold nanorods (GNR) coated with the polymers chitosan (Ch) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM). The polymer coatings are performed using a two-step method. First, GNR were coated with a thiolated chitosan (GNR-Ch) by replacing hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide with a chitosan thiomer. Structural modification of GNR-Ch was monitored by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Then a second polymeric coating was done by in situ free radical polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) on GNR-Ch to obtain the nanocomposite GNR-Ch-PNIPAM. The nanocomposite average size was analyzed by dynamic light scattering. The evolution of ζ potentials during the coatings was measured using electrophoretic mobility. GNR-Ch-PNIPAM presented a collapsed structure when heated above the lower critical solution temperature. The particle size of GNR-Ch-PNIPAM was manipulated by changing the pH. Plasmonic properties were evaluated by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Results showed an important blue shift due to the PNIPAM coating thickness. Thermo- and pH-responsive properties of the nanocomposite GNR-Ch-PNIPAM could be used as a drug delivery system.

Abstract:

Initially, pristine polymers were used to develop corrosion-resistant coatings. Later, the trend shifted to the use of polymeric nanocomposites in anti-corrosion materials. In this regard, graphene has been identified as an important corrosion-resistant nanomaterial. Consequently, polymer/graphene nanocomposites have been applied for erosion protection applications. Among polymers, conducting polymers (polyaniline, polypyrrole, polythiophene, etc.) and nonconducting polymers (epoxy, poly(methyl methacrylate), etc.) have been used as matrices for anticorrosion graphene nanocomposites. The corrosion-resistant polymer/graphene nanocomposites have found several important applications in biomedical fields such as biocompatible materials, biodegradable materials, bioimplants, tissue engineering, and drug delivery. The biomedical performance of the nanomaterials depends on the graphene dispersion and interaction with the polymers and living systems. Future research on the anti-corrosion polymer/graphene nanocomposite is desirable to perceive further advanced applications in the biomedical arenas.

Abstract:

Nowadays, durable protective coatings receive more attention in the field of conservation for several reasons (they are cost effective, time consuming, more resistance, etc.). Hence, this study was focused on producing a multi-functional, durable coating to protect different stone materials, especially, Lecce stone, bricks, and marble. For this purpose, ZrO2-doped-ZnO-PDMS nanocomposites (PDMS, polydimethylsiloxane used as the binder) were synthesized by in situ reaction (doped nanoparticles were inserted into the polymer matrix during the synthesis of PDMS) and the performances of resulting coatings were examined by handling different experimental analyses. In particular, the study aimed to evaluate the durability properties of the coating along with the self-cleaning effect. As a result, the durability of the nanocomposite coating with respect to the well-known PDMS coating was assessed after exposure to two different ageing cycles: solar ageing (300 W, 1000 h) and humid chamber ageing (RH > 80%, T = 22 ± 3 °C, desiccator, 2 years). All the results were in good agreement with each other providing that newly prepared nanocomposite coating can be used as a durable protective coating for different stone materials.

Abstract:

Offshore pipelines are vulnerable against erosion/wear deterioration mechanisms that can be controlled through the use of proper surface coatings, such as polymer matrix nano-composite (PMNC) coatings that are well-known for their ease of production, availability and applicability. Epoxy, as a versatile rigid and brittle resin and polyurethane with proper chemical/mechanical properties, are potential candidates to make the matrix of these composites. A combination of these polymers can also enhance the mechanical behaviors, glass transition temperature and flexibility. In addition, the desired coating characteristics, such as adhesion to metal substrate, mechanical properties, erosion/wear resistivity and UV absorbance, can be further improved through the addition of appropriate nanoparticles within the polymer matrix. Especially, nanoparticles can improve the erosion/wear resistance of polymers because of establishing high strength bonds between the polymer chains and the reinforcements besides enhancing other required properties. The present work is a review on PMNC coatings that contain epoxy, polyurethane or EP/polyurethane as a polymer matrix along with the details of the nanoparticle reinforcements, such as alumina, silica, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, clay and carbon-based materials. The effect of these nanoparticles on the properties of composite coatings has also been investigated.

Abstract:

Effect of ZnO nanoparticles on nanocomposite coatings based on R4152 and graphene oxide (GO) was studied.In presence of 2%wt. ZnO nanoparticle, abrasion resistance of coating increased by nearly 25% (from 75 to 92.9 L/mil) and temperature decomposition raised by 18oC. SEM images showed that nano ZnO can disperse homogenously in polymer matrix in presence of GO. Hence, photocatalytic activity of R4152/GO/ZnO nanocomposite coating was higher than that of R4152/ZnO nanocomposite coating. After 14 hours UV exposure, R4152/GO/ZnO nanocomposite coating can degrade over 80% methylene blue coated on its surface while 60% methylene blue was degraded by R4152/ZnO coatings.

Nanostructured modification of polymers has opened up new perspective for multifunctional materials. Carbon-nanotubes have the potential to increase the conductivity of their composite, with improved or retaining mechanical performance. This study focuses on the evaluation of the thermal and electrical conductivities of carbonnanotube filled alkyd resins for steel coatings. Polymer/Carbon-nanotube nanocomposites have been prepared by mixing commercial multiwall carbon-nanotubes with alkyd resins and by curing. The thermal and electrical conductivities of carbon-nanotubes filled nanocomposite was found to be increased comparing with the original resin without any fillers or with the resin with carbon-black or carbon-nanofiber.

Abstract:

In this study, we proposed a novel and facile method to modify the surface of TiO2 nanoparticles and investigated the influence of the surface-modified TiO2 nanoparticles as an additive in a polyurethane (PU) coating. The hyperbranched polymers (HBP) were grafted on the surface of TiO2 nanoparticles via the thiol-yne click chemistry to reduce the aggregation of nanoparticles and increase the interaction between TiO2 and polymer matrices. The grafting of HBP on the TiO2 nanoparticles surface was investigated by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA). The thermal and mechanical properties of nanocomposite coatings containing various amounts of TiO2 nanoparticles were measured by dynamic mechanical thermal (DMTA) and tensile strength measurement. Moreover, the surface structure and properties of the newly prepared nanocomposite coatings were examined. The experimental results demonstrate that the incorporation of the surface-modified TiO2 nanoparticles can improve the mechanical and thermal properties of nanocomposite coatings. The results also reveal that the surface modification of TiO2 with the HBP chains improves the nanoparticle dispersion, and the coating surface shows a lotus leaf-like microstructure. Thus, the functional nanocomposite coatings exhibit superhydrophobic properties, good photocatalytic depollution performance, and high stripping resistance.

Abstract:

Advancements in polymer/nanoclay nanocomposites have supported the development of distinctive preparation strategies and characteristic features. High-performance polymer/nanoclay nanocomposites have applications in aerospace, automotive, construction, environmental, and biomedicine. To further improve polymer/nanoclay nanocomposite performance, nanoclay nanobifillers have been considered. In this regard, nano-sized carbon allotropes are potential contenders to form nanoclay nanobifillers. This article presents a detailed and state-of-the-art review on polymer/nanoclay nanobifiller nanocomposites. The primary focus of this pioneering effort is to deliver an up-to-date overview on polymer/nanoclay nanobifiller nanocomposites along with their categorization, fabrication, properties, and uses. Nanoclay nanobifiller designs using carbon nanotube, graphene, and fullerene are considered. Consequently, ensuing nanocomposite categories are discussed including polymer/nanoclay-carbon nanotube, polymer/nanoclay-graphene, and polymer/nanoclay-fullerene nanocomposites. The dispersion properties and alignment of nanoclay nanobifiller in polymeric nanocomposites have been investigated. Enhancing the interfacial bonding strength between matrix and nanoclay nanobifiller enhances the resulting nanocomposite physical properties. Application areas for polymer/nanoclay nanobifiller nanocomposites include supercapacitors, non-flammable materials, and self-healing materials. The discussion also highlights potential future directions for this emerging research field. Forthcoming advancements in polymer/nanoclay nanobifiller nanocomposites must focus the intensive design control, nanobifiller functionality, new processing techniques, superior dispersion, and enhanced features to further broaden the application prospects of these materials.

Abstract:

Polymeric coatings have been widely selected for the corrosion resistance of metallic surfaces. Both the conducting and non-conducting polymers have been applied for corrosion confrontation. The conducting polymers usually possess high electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance features. On the other hand, non-conducting hydrophobic polymers have also been used to avert the metal erosion. To improve the corrosion inhibition performance of the polymer coatings, nanocarbon nanofillers have been used as reinforcement. Graphene, especially, has gained an important position in the research on the corrosion-protecting nanocomposite coatings. Here, graphene dispersion and matrix–nanofiller interactions may significantly improve the anti-corrosion performance to protect the underlying metals. The graphene nanofiller may form an interconnecting percolation network in the polymers to support their electrical conductivity and thus their corrosion confrontation characteristics. Further research on the polymer/graphene nanocomposite and its anti-corrosion mechanism may lead to great advancements in this field.

Nanostructured coatings based on interpenetrated polymer network of polyurethanes, polyacrylates or epoxide resins and containing nanoparticles of SiO2, TiO2 and other metal oxides introduced into a polymeric matrix was elaborated.

Formulation of a new class of nanocomposite materials is characterized by the absence of contaminants in the polymers technology [1]. The main components of the technology are branched (dendro)-aminosilanes which serve as curing agents for many oligomers. Additional hydrolysis of aminosilane oligomers creates the secondary nano-structured network polymer that improves performance of the compound.

Abstract:

In the recent past, polymer coatings have gained the attention of many researchers due to their low cost, their ability to be coated easily on different substrates, low friction and good anti-corrosion properties. Various polymers such as polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyurethane (PU), polyamide (PA), epoxy and ultra-high molecular weight polytheylene (UHMWPE) have been used to develop these coatings to modify the surfaces of different components to protect them from wear and corrosion. However, among all these polymers, UHMWPE stands out as a tribologist’s polymer due to its low friction and high wear resistance. These coatings have found their way into applications ranging from microelectro mechanical systems (MEMS) to demanding tribological applications such as bearings and biomedical applications. Despite its excellent tribological properties, UHMWPE suffers from limitations such as low load bearing capacity and low thermal stability. To overcome these challenges researchers have developed various routes such as developing UHMWPE composite and hybrid composite coatings with several types of nano/micro fillers, developing composite films system and developing dual film systems. The present paper is an effort to summarize these various routes adopted by different researchers to improve the tribological performance of UHMWPE coatings.

Abstract:

Due to a growing demand for protecting metallic components from wear and tear, polymer coatings are being extensively researched and developed as one of the most effective and efficient solutions to reduce friction and wear in demanding tribological applications. The present study focuses on developing a polymer nanocomposite coating of ultra-high molecular polyethylene (UHMWPE) reinforced with different loadings (0.5, 3, 5, and 10 wt %) of alumina to protect steel surfaces. Wear tests were conducted on the coated samples using a tribometer with a ball-on-disk configuration, sliding against a 440C hardened stainless steel ball as a counterface to evaluate the wear life and the load-bearing capacity of the developed coatings. Micro-indentation, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and optical profilometry techniques were used to characterize the coatings in terms of hardness, dispersion of the nanofillers, morphology, and wear mechanisms, respectively. Results showed that the UHMWPE nanocomposite coating reinforced with 3 wt % and 5 wt % of alumina did not fail, even until 250,000 cycles at a normal load of 12 N and a linear speed of 0.1 m/s, showing a significant improvement in wear resistance as compared to the pristine UHMWPE coating.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe incorporation of layered nano-silicates in polymer matrix greatly enhances the properties of the polymer. At present, there are many applications of polymer nanocomposites including coatings and architectural, they are also parts of automotive and construction industry among others. The acrylics employed at the present study were based on butyl acrylate (BA), styrene (STY), and methacrylic acid (MAA), and the nano-clay was Na-montomorillonite (MMT). The MMT clay was added to the polymer, which is the mixing matrix in a physical state solution called blend. Furthermore, their mechanical, thermal and wettability of especially prepared acrylic montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were performed. By increasing the MMT in the polymer matrix concentration the Young’s modulus tends to increase it by an order of magnitude. However, by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), the thermograms show an increase in the glass transition temperature of nanocomposites for all weight percentages of MMT. Also, the wetting angle was determined, in order to know how much water is retained on the surface of the nanocomposite; the results showed that by increasing the particle of nano clay in the polymer matrix will induce a hydrophobic property to the nanocomposite.

Abstract:

Corrosion is a serious problem for implementing metallic components and devices in industrial zones. Considerable effort has been made to develop corrosion prevention strategies. Initially, paints, pigments, and organic coatings have been applied to prevent metal corrosion. Consequently, conjugated polymers, epoxy resin, phenolics, acrylic polymers, and many thermoplastics as well as thermoset resins have been used to inhibit corrosion. Lately, nanofillers such as fullerene, nanodiamond, graphene, graphene oxide, carbon nanotube, carbon black, nanoclay, and inorganic nanoparticle have been introduced in polymeric matrices to harness valuable corrosion protection properties of the nanocomposite. Corrosion protection performance of a nanocomposite depends on nanofiller dispersion, physical and covalent interaction between matrix/nanofiller and nanofiller adhesion to the substrate. Moreover, a high performance anti-corrosion nanocomposite must have good barrier properties, and high scratch, impact, abrasion, and chemical resistance. Thus, polymeric nanocomposites have been found to prevent corrosion in aerospace and aircraft structural parts, electronic components, bipolar plates in fuel cells, and biomedical devices and systems. However, numerous challenges need to be addressed in this field to attain superior corrosion resistant nanocomposites. Future research on polymer nanocomposites has the potential to resolve the current challenges of metal corrosion through entire replacement of metal-based materials with advanced nanomaterials.

Abstract:

This paper deals with possibilities of production of new nanocomposite coatings in polymer matrix on aluminium alloys, namely the formation of a composite coating in a polymer matrix on an aluminium alloy. It is a PMMA coating (polymethylmethacrylate) with the addition of TiO2 particles. Working with these particles requires not only safety but also a suitable preparation process to obtain particles of suitable size, their subsequent homogeneous distribution in the coating (particles of this size are influenced by electro statically attractive forces and have a strong tendency to aggravate).The aim is to determine if the coatings will affect the surface‘s condition and its properties. The focus of the work is on selecting of the appropriate preparation of sample technology, examining the particle distribution in the coating and the effect of the coating on the coefficient of shear friction. Consequently, what can be achieved is the coefficient of shear friction of the surface of the coated part compared to the uncoated surface (at different particle concentrations in the spin) and the distribution of TiO2 particles on the surface of the sample.

Abstract:

A novel hydrophobic Canola oil-based nanocomposite anticorrosive coating material with different contents of fumes silica (FS) was successfully synthesized via an in situ method. Firstly, a Canola oil-based hydroxyl terminated poly (oxalate-amide) was prepared by a two-step process of amidation and condensation. Secondly, the dispersion of fumed silica (1 to 3 wt.%) in hydroxyl terminated poly (oxalate-amide) was carried out, followed by reaction with toluene-2,4- diisocyanate (TDI) in order to form poly (urethane-oxalate-amide)/fumed silica nanocomposite. The structure and properties of nanocomposite were analyzed by FTIR, NMR (1H/13C), TGA/DTA, DSC, contact angle, and SEM. The physico-mechanical and electrochemical tests were performed in order to check the performance of nanocomposite coating. The results reveal that FS is homogenously dispersed in poly (urethane-oxalate-amide) matrix with a loading amount of less than 3 wt.%. The performance of nanocomposite coating improved when compared to virgin polymer. The synthesized nanocomposite coating can be used in the field of hydrophobic anticorrosive coatings.

Abstract:

Due to growing popularity of composites, modification methods to obtain the best properties are searched for. The aim of the study is to reduce the flammability of textile materials using nanocomposite polymer back-coating. Different types of carbon nanotubes (single- and multiwalled) and different phosphorus flame retardants (ammonium polyphosphates and melamine polyphosphate) were introduced into the resin and then the fabrics were covered by the obtained composites. Homogeneous dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes in the polyurethane resin was obtained by sonification, which was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. Flammability tests of fabrics coated by modified polyurethane resin were carried out using pyrolysis combustion flow calorimeter (PCFC) and thermal stability of textiles was evaluated. Also, organoleptic estimation of coatings was conducted (flexibility and fragility). The use of polymer nanocomposites with phophorus flame retardants as a back-coating for textiles effectively reduces flammability and improves thermal stability of the fabric. Furthermore, the synergistic effect beetwen carbon nanotubes and phosphorous compound occurs. The resulting coatings are flexible and do not crack or change the feel of fabrics.

Abstract:

The search for renewable biodegradable materials to replace conventional oil-based plastics is a fast-growing research area as it provides an important factor for the sustainable growth of the packaging industry. In this regard, clay-containing composite materials have numerous current and potential commercial applications. However, the interaction between clay and polymer, i.e. Poly(ethylene glycol), is influenced by many factors, such as the nature of the clay, length and nature of the polymer chain, hence, in this work polymer/clay nanocomposite is studied both ex`perimentally and theoretically. Structural and thermodynamic properties of formulated nanocomposites are probed using XRD and TGA techniques and then compared with corresponding values derived from a series of Molecular Dynamics simulations of intercalated polymer/clay nanocomposites. For the first time, the developed potential models were able to predict realistic basal spacing of poly(ethylene glycol)/clay nanocomposite. The simulation also revealed the structure of the interlayer on a molecular level, which greatly benefited the understanding of the formation of polymer/clay coatings. The swelling dynamics, energetics and structure of the clay interlayers are examined. Particular attention is paid to the behaviour of polymer and water when they coexist in the clay interlayer.

Abstract:

In this paper, hydrophobic nanocomposite coatings based on polyurethane (PUR) modified by nano-silica and silane-based compounds were manufactured by spraying. The main challenge was to assess and improve the hydrophobic as well as anti-icing properties of initially hydrophilic polymer coatings. The prepared nanocomposite coatings were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical profilometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results obtained showed that in order to achieve hydrophobicity, appropriate amounts of nano-silica must be incorporated in the coating, and complete coverage by nano-silica particles is necessary for achieving hydrophobicity. Coating adhesion and the durability of the hydrophobic behaviour were also studied by scratch test and frosting/defrosting cycles, respectively. The results show that use of both nano-silica and silane-based compounds improve the hydrophobic and anti-icing properties of the coating as compared to a non-modified PUR topcoat. A synergistic effect of both additives was observed. It was also found that the anti-icing behaviour does not necessarily correlate with surface roughness and the materials’ wetting properties.

Abstract:

Purpose This work aims to prepare and characterize of protective anticorrosion phosphate-doped polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposite coatings for stainless steel (SS) in chloride solution. Design/methodology/approach PANI composite coatings were electrodeposited from aqueous sulfuric acid solution containing monomer and Al2O3 nanoparticles using cyclic voltammetry technique. Doping by phosphate was done by aging the coated steels for different periods (1–168 h) in phosphate solution. The polymer film composite was investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Potential-time, anodic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to study the protection efficiency of the coatings. Findings The Al2O3 nanoparticles were incorporated into the deposited PANI layer but they decreased the deposition of polymer. The nanoparticles and the phosphate anions enhanced the protective PANI layer for passivation and protection of SS in the chloride solution. Originality/value The replacement of counter anions by phosphate ions improved significantly the PANI and its nanocomposite as protective coating of SS in chloride solution.

Abstract:

Polymer-infiltrated nanoparticle films (PINFs) are a new class of nanocomposites that offer synergistic properties and functionality derived from unusually high fractions of nanomaterials. Recently, two versatile techniques,capillary rise infiltration (CaRI) and solvent-driven infiltration of polymer (SIP), have been introduced that exploit capillary forces in films of densely packed nanoparticles. In CaRI, a highly loaded PINF is produced by thermally induced wicking of polymer melt into the nanoparticle packing pores. In SIP, exposure of a polymer–nanoparticle bilayer to solvent vapor atmosphere induces capillary condensation of solvent in the pores of nanoparticle packing, leading to infiltration of polymer into the solvent-filled pores. CaRI/SIP PINFs show superior properties compared with polymer nanocomposite films made using traditional methods, including superb mechanical properties, thermal stability, heat transfer, and optical properties. This review discusses fundamental aspects of the infiltration process and highlights potential applications in separations, structural coatings, and polymer upcycling—a process to convert polymer wastes into useful chemicals.

Abstract:

Polymer-derived ceramic (PDC) nanocomposites enable access to a large library of functional properties starting from molecular design and incorporating nanofillers. Tailoring preceramic polymer (PCP) chemistry and nanofiller size and morphology can lead to usage of the nanocomposites in complex shapes and coatings with enhanced thermal and mechanical properties. A rational design of targeted nanocomposites requires an understanding of fundamental structure–property–performance relations. Thus, we tailor our discussions of PCP design and nanofiller integration into single source precursors as well as pyrolytic processing for functionalizing PDCs. We also discuss the promises and limitations of advanced characterization techniques such as 4D transmission electron microscopy and pair distribution functions to enable in situ mapping structural evolution. The feedback loop of in situ monitoring sets the foundation for enabling accelerated materials discovery with artificial intelligence. This perspective assesses the recent progress of PDC nanocomposite research nanocomposites and presents scientific and engineering challenges for synthesis, fabrication, processing, and advanced characterization of PDC nanocomposites for enhanced magnetic, electrical, and energy conversion and storage properties.

Abstract:

A new approach of using a polymer hybrid nanocomposite coating to modify the surface of titanium and its alloys is explored in this study. Electrostatic spray coating process is used to deposit the coating on the plasma-treated substrates for better adhesion. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been selected as the parent matrix for the coating due to its biocompatibility and excellent tribological properties. However, to improve its load-bearing capacity carbon nanotubes (CNT’s) (0.5, 1.5, and 3 wt.%) are used as reinforcement and to further enhance its performance, different weight percent of hydroxyapatite (HA) (0.5, 1.5, 3, and 5 wt.%) are introduced to form a hybrid nanocomposite coating. The dispersion of CNT’s and HA was evaluated by Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical corrosion behavior of the nanocomposite coatings was evaluated by performing potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic tests in simulated body fluid. Tribological performance of the developed hybrid nanocomposite coating was evaluated using a 6.3 mm diameter stainless steel (440C) ball as the counterface in a ball-on-disk configuration. Tests were carried out at different normal loads (7 N, 9 N, 12 N, and 15 N) and a constant sliding velocity of 0.1 m/s. The developed hybrid nanocomposite coating showed excellent mechanical properties in terms of high hardness, improved scratch resistance, and excellent wear and corrosion resistance compared to the pristine UHMWPE coatings.

Abstract:

In this work, polystyrene microspheres (PSMS) and PSMS-based polymer nanocomposites have been prepared. PSMS were first synthesized by dispersion polymerization of styrene monomer. The microsphere- coated-multi-walled carbon nanotube (PSMS/MWCNT) nanocomposite was prepared by incorporating MWCNT into PSMS matrix. Aniline monomer was then introduced by means of in situ oxidative polymerization (PANI) route to PSMS, MWCNT, and PSMS/MWCNT. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy depicted the composite formation of PANI and MWCNT with PSMS matrix. PANI polymer was successfully polymerized in PSMS matrix and on carbon nanotube walls. According to scanning electron microscopy, all nanocomposites exhibited core-shell morphology. Glass transition temperature (Tg) of PSMS/PANI, PANI/MWCNT, and PSMS/PANI/MWCNT were found as 245℃, 287℃, and 289℃, while maximum decomposition temperature (Tmax) was 387℃, 575℃, and 580℃, respectively. Tetrahydrofuran was shown to be a suitable solvent for dispersing the nanocomposite. Toluene can also be used as suitable solvent for these nanocomposites. X-ray diffraction analysis depicted amorphous form of PSMS; however, PANI and MWCNT reduced the amorphous nature of the microspheres. PANI/MWCNT showed the highest crystallinity among all nanocomposites. Moreover, PSMS/PANI/MWCNT nanocomposite revealed electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of ∼23.2 dB.

Abstract:

Based on the as-synthesized modified polysiloxane containing pendant long-chain fluoroalkyl and silanoxy (PFAS) in our previous work, an in situ condensation reaction with silica sol was carried out to prepare a fluoroacrylate-modified polysiloxane nanocomposite. The polysiloxane nanocomposite was then applied as a fabric finish to construct a superhydrophobic coating. The structural and thermal properties of the polymer, surface morphology, surface composition and hydrophobicity of the fabric coatings, polymer fine microstructure, and performance properties of the treated fabrics were researched using infrared spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry, and measurement of the contact angle, whiteness, and softness. The characterization results showed that the product had good thermal stability. The static contact angle and rolling contact angle on the finished fabric surface were 163.5° and 7°, respectively. The whiteness and softness were basically similar to those of untreated fabrics. Moreover, due to the stable covalent bond between the silica particles and the polymers, the static contact angle remained 152.3° after 15 cycles of washing, which indicates that it has good water resistance.

Abstract:

The design of high-performance nanocomposites with improved mechanical, thermal or optical properties compared to starting polymers has generated special interest due to their use in a wide range of targeted applications. In the present work, polymer nanocomposites composed of polyurethane elastomers based on polycaprolactone or polycaprolactone/poly(ethylene glycol) soft segments and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles as an inorganic filler were prepared and characterized. Initially, the surface of TiO2 nanoparticles was modified with (3-iodopropyl) trimethoxysilane as a coupling agent, and thereafter, the tertiary amine groups from polyurethane hard segments were quaternized with the silane-modified TiO2 nanoparticles in order to ensure covalent binding of the nanoparticles on the polymeric chains. In the preparation of polymer nanocomposites, two quaternization degrees were taken into account (1/1 and 1/0.5 molar ratios), and the resulting nanocomposite coatings were characterized by various methods (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, contact angle, thermogravimetric analysis, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis). The mechanical parameters of the samples evaluated by tensile testing confirm the elastomeric character of the polyurethanes and of the corresponding composites, indicating the obtaining of highly flexible materials. The absorbance/transmittance measurements of PU/TiO2 thin films in the wavelength range of 200–700 nm show that these partially block UV-A radiation and all UV-B radiation from sunlight and could possibly be used as UV-protective elastomeric coatings.

Abstract:

To utilize MWCNTs as influential reinforcement in polymer composites, reasonable dispersion and a satisfactory interfacial bond between the MWCNTs and polymer matrix must be ensured. The chemical modification of carbon nanotube surface (CNTs) could enhance their chemical compatibility and dispersibility with the polymer matrix. In this study, polymer matrix composites reinforced by pristine MWCNT and MWCNT grafted PMMA (CNTPMMA) were prepared. A comparative study executed to analyze the impact of MWCNT dispersion on the mechanical and tribological performance of the resultant polymer nanocomposite coating. The results showed that the dispersion of carbon nanotubes in the base polymeric material was improved after being grafted with polymethyl meth acrylate chains, and thus improved their mechanical and tribological performance in the composite coatings.

Substrates based on the metal-polymer nanocomposites 2,3-dichloro-p-xylylene-silver (PCPX-Ag) that realize the effect of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) were developed. To obtain nanocomposites, the vapor-phase polymerization method was used (VDP), which makes it possible to control the nanocomposite microstructure. In the process of self-assembly during VDP, nanocomposite films with inclusions of silver particles were formed on the polycore substrates. Silver content varied from 2.5 to 16% vol. The possibility of using such substrates for the detection of low-molecular substances, for example 5,5′-dithiobis- (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) analyte, by the SERS method with an enhancement factor of up to 104, was demonstrated. The dependence of the SERS spectra enhancement on the microstructure of the nanocomposite and the silver content was determined. The optical and morphological properties of nanocomposites were also investigated and their dependence on the silver content was shown. It has been demonstrated that the nanocomposite is SERS selective since when working with complex solutions in the presence of high molecular weight substances, signal enhancement was only observed for low molecular weight substances.

Abstract:

Purpose The low resistance against penetration of water, oxygen and the other corrosive ions through the paths of coating is one the most important problems. So, protective properties of coating such as polyester must be promoted. Recently, the use of nanoparticles in the matrix of polymer coating to increase their protection and mechanical properties has been prospering greatly. The purpose of this study is to improve the corrosion resistance of the polyester powder coating with ZnO nanoparticles. The ZnO nanoparticles have been synthesized by hydrothermal method in a microwave. Using polyester – ZnO nanocomposite coating as powder – combining them by ball milling process and coating them by electrostatic process are innovative ideas and have not been used before it. Design/methodology/approach Polyester powder as the matrix and ZnO nanoparticles as reinforcing were combined in three different weight percentage (0.5, 1, 2 Wt.%), and they formed polymer nanocomposite by ball milling process. Then, the fabricated nanocomposite powder was applied to the surface of carbon steel using an electrostatic device, and then the coatings were cured in the furnace. The morphology of synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles was investigated by transmission electron microscope. Also, the morphology of polyester powder and fabricated coatings was studied by scanning electron microscope. The effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles on the corrosion resistance of coated samples were studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test at various times (1-90 days) of immersion in 3.5 per cent NaCl electrolyte. Findings Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results reveal that there are no obvious crack and defects in the nanocomposite coatings. In contrast, the pure polyester coatings having many cracks and pores in their structure. According to the EIS results, the corrosion resistance of nanocomposite coating compared to pure coating is higher. The value obtained from EIS test show that corrosion resistance for coating that contains 1 Wt.% nanoparticle was 32,150,000 (Ωcm2), which was six times bigger than that of pure coating. In addition to providing a barrier against diffusion of electrolyte, ZnO nanoparticles act as a corrosion inhibitor and, thus, increases the corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of coating containing 0.5 Wt.% nanoparticles was lower as compared to that of 1 Wt.% nanoparticles. The low content of nanoparticles caused partial covering of the porosity of coating which in turn leads to provide weaker barrier properties. The increase in quantity of nanoparticles from 1 to 2 Wt.% also caused a decrease in corrosion resistance which is attributed to the agglomeration of nanoparticles. Originality/value The results of this study indicated the significant effect of ZnO nanoparticles on the protective performance and corrosion resistance of the polyester powder coating. Evaluation of coating surface and interface with SEM technique revealed that nanocomposite coating compared with pure polyester coating provided a coating with lower number of pores and with higher quality. The EIS measurements represented that polymeric coating that contains nanoparticles compared to pure coating provides a better corrosion resistance. In addition to providing a barrier against diffusion of electrolyte, ZnO nanoparticles act as a corrosion inhibitor and thus increase the corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of coating containing 0.5 Wt.% nanoparticles was lower as compared to that containing 1Wt.% nanoparticles. The low content of nanoparticles caused partial covering of the porosity of coating which in turn leads to provide weaker barrier properties.

Abstract:

In the present study, thermal degradation kinetics of polyurethane (PU) powder coatings reinforced with organo-modified montmorillonite (OMMT) was investigated. PU nanocomposites were prepared in different concentrations of 1, 3, and 5 wt.% of OMMT via the extrusion method. The microstructure of the nanocomposites was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) illustrating uniform dispersion of OMMT nano-clay platelets in the PU matrix except for the sample containing 5 wt.% nano-palates. Thermal degradation kinetics of the PU nanocomposite was investigated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) at different heating rates of 5, 10, and 20 °C/min. The results showed that the initial decomposition temperatures were shifted toward higher values (more than 40 °C for T5% and up to 20 °C for T10%) by introducing the nano-clay to the PU matrix. Friedman, Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS), Flynn–Wall–Ozawa (FWO), and modified Coats-Redfern iso-conversional methods were applied to model the decomposition reaction and the activation energy of the nanocomposite powder coatings. Overall, the presence of nano-clay increased the activation energy of the PU degradation up to 45 kJ/mol, when compared to the blank PU, which suggests very high thermal stability of nanocomposites. The Sestak-Berggren approach proposed a good approximation for the reaction model, especially at low temperatures. Thus, PU decomposition was detected as an autocatalytic reaction, which was suppressed by the barrier effect of OMMT nano-palates intercalated with polymer chains.

Abstract:

Purpose. The purpose of this work is to study the thermal degradation of epoxy polymers and nanocomposites based on them in a fire retardant intumescent coating having a composition – ammonium polyphosphate / melamine / pentaerythritol. Methods. Thermogravimetric studies have been performed on the device “Thermoscan-2”, fire tests were performed by the method of “Bunsen burner”. Results. The influence of the structure of epoxy resin as a polymer component of the intumescent system on oxidative thermal destruction and fire retardant efficiency of reactive coating has been researched. The obtained results allow us to state that the best result has been demonstrated by Araldite GY 783 – epoxy resin of bisphenols A/F with a reactive solvent. The thermal properties of various epoxy resins and nanocomposites based on them with organomodified montmorillonite have been studied. It was found that montmorillonite in the nanocomposite increases the decomposition temperature of epoxy resin. Scientific novelty. It has been shown that the variation of the polymer component of the intumescent coating has little effect on the swelling rate, but the fire retardant efficiency of the intumescent composition containing epoxy resin of bisphenols A/F is higher than the same characteristic for the composition based on epoxy resin of bisphenol A. It has been established that the exclusion of pentaerythritol from the formulation of the epoxy intumescent system causes the formation of a more regular and durable char insulation layer. It has been proved that the use of additional, including nanostructured flame retardants, namely, modified montmorillonite, can increase the fire retardant efficiency of the coating. Practical significance. The obtained results are of practical importance for the development of new scientific approaches to the design of fire-fighting materials with improved performance characteristics through the use of polymers that provide the construction of a thermostable thermal insulation char layer. Through a series of systematic tests, it has been demonstrated that the use of nanoclay and nanocomposites based on epoxy resins allows to improve the formulations of intumescent coatings with high performance with the help of budget nanotechnologies.

Abstract:

Abstract Flexible nanocomposite films, with cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CFN) as the ferromagnetic component and polyvinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene (PVDF-TrFE) copolymer as the ferroelectric matrix, were fabricated using a blade coating technique. Nanocomposite films were prepared using a two-step process; the first process involves the synthesis of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles using a sonochemical method, and then incorporation of various weight percentages (0, 2.5, 5, and 10%) of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles into the PVDF-TrFE to form nanocomposites. The ferroelectric polar β phase of PVDF-TrFE was confirmed by x-ray diffraction (XRD). Thermal studies of films showed notable improvement in the thermal properties of the nanocomposite films with the incorporation of nanoparticles. The ferroelectric properties of the pure polymer/composite films were studied, showing a significant improvement of maximum polarization upon 5wt% CFN loading in PVDF-TrFE composite films compared to the PVDF-TrFE film. The magnetic properties of as-synthesized CFN and the polymer nanocomposites were studied, showing a magnetic saturation of 53.7 emu g−1 at room temperature, while 10% cobalt ferrite-(PVDF-TrFE) nanocomposite shows 27.6 emu/g. We also describe a process for fabricating high optical quality pure PVDF-TrFE and pinhole-free nanocomposite films. Finally, the mechanical studies revealed that the mechanical strength of the films increases up to 5 wt% loading of the nanoparticles in the copolymer matrix and then decreases. This signifies that the obtained films could be suited for flexible electronics.
