Abstract

One of the best strategies to develop appropriate corrosion resistance is the incorporation of nano additives such as CNTs into coatings, in order to prepare a lowcost, lightweight, and environment-friendly nanocomposite coating with proper anticorrosive properties. Filling coatings by such nano additive can considerably enhance mechanical features and barrier properties and provide reliable durability. CNTs-filled nanocomposites have achieved increasing attention due to their magnificent properties of controlling degradation of the metallic surfaces by providing impermeability of aggressive species. The incorporation of CNTs can effectively improve the corrosion protection performance of Nano coating in both ferrous and nonferrous metals. Different protection mechanisms can be provided due to the presence of CNTs in the anticorrosive coating, which can result in lengthening the lifetime and enhancing the performance of the protective coating. However, there are some challenges, such as appropriate functionalization in order to provide proper distribution of CNTs in different matrixes, which should be addressed, in parallel
