Abstract

In this work, the multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were treated with concentrated mixed acid to form oxidized multiwall carbon nanotubes (o-MWCNTs) before using as an additive for enhancing the anticorrosion and mechanical properties of epoxy-based coating. Many characteristics of both o-MWCNTs and its coating were examined in detail such as chemical structure, crystal phase, anticorrosion, morphology, mechanical property. The presence of o-MWCNTs helps to improve anti-corrosion for epoxy coating in comparison with pure epoxy coating and epoxy coating embedded with pristine MWCNTs. The result of mechanical testing indicated that the o-MWCNTs induced the higher hardness and lower modulus when compared with pure epoxy coating and epoxy/MWCNTs coating.
