Abstract
Researchers face significant challenges because of the inadequate corrosion resistance and weak adherence of epoxy (EP) coatings. We deal with these issues here by means of a novel nano-composite coating (EP/nano-CoS2). In order to create a composite coating (EP/nano-CoS2), CoS2 nanoparticles (nano-CoS2) were prepared and incorporated to an epoxy (EP) resin. The synthesized CoS2 was characterized using XRD and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. The mean particle size was determined using Scherer equation and found to be 19.38 nm. The zeta potential was also determined (− 9.78 mV). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopies (EIS) as well as pull-off assessments were used to quantify the EP/nano-CoS2 coating’s anti-corrosion capabilities and adhesive power. The findings demonstrate that the EIS variables of the EP/nano-CoS2 composite coating are markedly improved when compared to raw EP coating. The corrosion resistance or even adhesion of EP protective layer can be markedly increased by using the synthesized nanoparticles as nano-fillers.
