The influence of anchoring segments and solvated segments of the polyacrylic hyperdispersant on the dispersion of mica in UV-curable coating as well as the coating properties was systematically investigated. The dispersion performance of the hyperdispersants was investigated by rheology measurement, mechanical property, and anticorrosion property (via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and neutral salt spray test) of the UV-curable coatings. It was found that the optimum anchoring segment and solvated segment of the polyacrylic hyperdispersant for dispersing mica in UV-curable systems were N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and butyl methacrylate (BMA), respectively.

The key issue is whether h-BN can surpass the limitations of conventional coatings and ensure reliable long-term stability under extreme and highly demanding conditions. In contrast to graphene, which can induce galvanic corrosion because of its conductivity, h-BN is nonconductive, chemically inert, and thermally stable, making it highly suitable for durable, long-term protective applications. Its incorporation into polymeric and inorganic coatings enhances anticorrosion and antiwear through mechanisms such as the labyrinth effect, which hinders the diffusion of corrosive agents, and in certain cases, the formation of passivating boron oxide layers that provide self-healing functionality. This review analyzes recent progress in h-BN-based coatings, focusing on vapor-deposited thin films and nanosheet-reinforced composites. Beyond corrosion protection, h-BN-based coatings also exhibit promise in flame retardancy, waterproofing, and thermal management, attributed to their hydrophobic nature and excellent overall chemical stability. Despite these advances, large-scale application is still constrained by the high cost and complexity of current synthesis approaches. Overall, this review highlights the protective mechanisms of h-BN coatings and outlines emerging opportunities and future directions for their broader and practical utilisation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":619,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Coatings Technology and Research","volume":"23 5","pages":"2617 - 2635"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148837623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, polyaniline (PANI) is deposited on the surface of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) through in situ polymerization to enhance the compatibility between h-BN and WEC. Then, the two oxides (TiO₂ and CeO₂) are loaded on the h-BN-PANI by in situ hydrolysis, obtaining two composite nanofillers (h-BN-PANI@TiO₂ and h-BN-PANI@CeO₂). The structures of composite nanofillers are investigated by FTIR, XRD, and SEM. The anticorrosion performances of WECs with h-BN-PANI, h-BN-PANI@TiO₂, and h-BN-PANI@CeO₂ are evaluated by EIS and salt spray test. The EIS results show that h-BN-PANI@TiO₂/WEC and h-BN-PANI@CeO₂/WEC exhibit the best corrosion resistance, and its low-frequency impedance (<i>Z</i>_{<i>f</i>=0.01 Hz}) is one order of magnitude higher than those of pure WEC and h-BN/WEC.

Conventional phosphorus/nitrogen (P/N)-based flame retardants, though highly effective in imparting fire resistance, often suffer from drawbacks such as the release of formaldehyde and limited durability, thereby raising safety and regulatory concerns. Consequently, recent research has prioritized the design of formaldehyde-free alternatives, alongside broader categories such as bio-based P/N substitutes and phosphorus-free systems. Emerging strategies involve the integration of renewable and sustainable raw materials—including biomass-derived compounds, kaolin, clays, and metal-based additives—into FR formulations. Additionally, hybrid organic–inorganic systems, advanced intumescent chemistries, and novel functional groups have been introduced to balance fire performance with ecological responsibility. The application of innovative surface-engineering techniques, such as layer-by-layer deposition, plasma-assisted modification, sol–gel processes, and nanotechnology-driven coatings, has further enhanced flame retardancy while offering multifunctionality. Nevertheless, the overall environmental performance of these systems is highly dependent on factors such as chemical composition, synthesis route, processing energy, and end-of-life behavior. Life cycle assessment (LCA) studies suggest that bio-based and polymeric FRs generally exhibit lower carbon footprints compared to traditional systems; however, their sustainability advantages are contingent upon responsible sourcing, scalability, and efficient waste management practices.
