ABSTRACT
Mild steel is low cost and can be widely used in various fields such as chemical processing, mining, construction, production, and marine applications. A- multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were formed via acid functionalized MWCNTs. MWCNTs were treated with a mixture of 3:1 by stirring at temperature of 40°C for 4 hours. Consequently, the adhesion of epoxy coating properties can be improved by the incorporation of inorganic nanoparticles such as Al2O3, ZnO, SiO2, CaCo3, TiO2, and organoclay. The nonfunctionalized MWCNTs/TGBAPB epoxy coating system displayed lesser impedance value than the neat TGBAPB epoxy coating system. The surface morphology of neat TGBAPB, TGBAPB/MWCNTs, and TGBAPB/A-MWCNTs coatings specimens were determined by scanning electron microscope. The chapter concludes that the development of amine functionalized MWCNTs reinforced with TGBAPB epoxy coatings can be used for applications of corrosion protection of mild steel substrate for enhancement of longevity performance other than coatings systems in present usage.
