What Types of Nanomaterials are Used in Anti-Corrosion Coatings?
Several types of nanomaterials are employed in anti-corrosion coatings, including:
- Nanoparticles: Materials like zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) are commonly used due to their excellent barrier properties and UV resistance. - Carbon Nanotubes: These provide mechanical strength and enhance the adhesion of the coating. - Graphene: Known for its impermeability and high electrical conductivity, graphene can significantly improve the anti-corrosive properties of coatings.
