NEW RESEARCH

Zinc Morphology Boosts Corrosion Protection in Epoxy Primers
Researchers have demonstrated that tailoring the morphology and crystallographic orientation of zinc particles significantly improves the corrosion protection performance of zinc-rich epoxy coatings. A simple thermal treatment produces zinc with more active crystal planes, extending cathodic protection from ten to nearly 70 days.

Designing of dual-functional epoxy coating with ZIF-67@LDH@MBT composites for corrosion protection and flame retardancy

An inorganic filler of oxygen-vacancy-rich TiO2-x modified sericite for epoxy coating to realize iron corrosion protection

From weak polymers to pH-responsive coatings: Multifunctional epoxy coatings enabled by Y3+-modified PPy@g-C3N4 nanofillers
