Abstract
Utilization of Ti3C2 nanosheets for enhancing anticorrosion of epoxy resin coatings has been reported. But the epoxy coatings in real world are mainly pigmented coatings. Unfortunately, the anticorrosion behavior of Ti3C2 nanosheets for the pigmented epoxy coatings is rarely concerned. In this work, both 0.5 wt% unmodified Ti3C2 nanosheets (U-Ti3C2) or 0.5 wt% (3-glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane-modified Ti3C2 nanosheets (G-Ti3C2) were introduced into solvent-based titania pigmented epoxy coatings. Corrosion resistance of coatings was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and salt spray tests. A titania concentration effect was interestingly exhibited for the anticorrosion behavior Ti3C2-containing pigmented coatings. Enhanced anticorrosion was only demonstrated when TiO2 content was not above 10 wt% for U-Ti3C2 or 5 wt% for G-Ti3C2. Moreover, the pigmented coatings with U-Ti3C2 have better corrosion resistance than those with G-Ti3C2, being contrary to the phenomenon observed in pure epoxy resin coatings. The different anticorrosion behavior of Ti3C2 nanosheets for epoxy coatings with various TiO2 contents was mainly attributed to the different dispersion states of TiO2 pigments, that is, improved dispersion at low TiO2 content and deteriorated dispersion at high TiO2 content, after addition of Ti3C2 nanosheets.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this international journal is to analyse and publicise the progress and current state of knowledge in the field of organic coatings and related materials. The Editors and the Editorial Board members will solicit both review and research papers from academic and industrial scientists who are actively engaged in research and development or, in the case of review papers, have extensive experience in the subject to be reviewed. Unsolicited manuscripts will be accepted if they meet the journal''s requirements. The journal publishes papers dealing with such subjects as:
• Chemical, physical and technological properties of organic coatings and related materials
• Problems and methods of preparation, manufacture and application of these materials
• Performance, testing and analysis.
