In this study, new composite coatings are fabricated and investigated for their applications as the metal coating. The studied coatings consist of two-layered composites with various nanoparticulates as fillers in a polymeric matrix (styrene acrylic). The first layer bonded to the steel plate uses a combination of zinc particles, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and graphene nanoplatelets. For the second layer, hexagonal boron nitride with high electrical insulation properties is added to the matrix. The morphology of the nanoparticulates is conducted using a scanning electron microscope. The coefficient of thermal expansion, cathodic disbondment resistance, gas penetration, and scratch resistance of the coatings are evaluated. The corroded area on the cathodic disbondment test specimens reduced down up to 90% for the composite with zinc (20 wt%), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (2 wt%), and graphene nanoplatelets (2 wt%), compared to a specimen coated with a pure polymer. It is seen that the presence of nanoparticulates decreased gas permeation and thermal expansion of the matrix by 75% and 65%, respectively. The addition of nanoparticulates also enhanced scratch resistance of the coating composites.

We have developed an analytical method to determine the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) for single wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs). We have found that all CTEs are negative at low and room temperature and become positive at high temperature. As the CNT diameter decreases, the range of negative CTE shrinks. The CTE in radial direction of the CNT is less than that in the axial direction for armchair CNTs, but the opposite holds for zigzag CNTs. The radial CTE is independent of the CNT helicity, while the axial CTE shows a strong helicity dependence.

The effect of nanosilica, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay on thermal properties of Epikote 828 epoxy polymer was studied. Thermo-mechanical analysis was conducted on three types of nanocomposites which contain 5-25 wt% nanosilica, 0.5-1 wt% MWCNT and 1-5 wt% MMT nanoclay. The effect of nanofillers on the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), thermal strain and glass transition temperature (Tg) of the modified and unmodified resins was investigated. It was found that the addition of nanofiller improved the dimensional stability of the polymer. All nanomodified-polymer systems have lower CTE compared to that of the unmodified resin.
