Abstract

Epoxies are important thermosetting polymers with exceptional features, which have been successfully employed for coatings. Polyester blends with epoxy enhances their chemical inertness, anti-rusting, toughness, strength, glass transition temperature, and heat stability, Epoxy/polyester blends have been further reinforced with nanocarbon, nanoclay, and inorganic nanoparticles to form nanocomposite coatings. Incorporating nanoparticles in epoxy/polyester has further improved their engineering properties. This review article principally offers state-of-the-art review of epoxy/polyester blends and epoxy-/polyester-based nanocomposite coatings. The epoxy/polyester and epoxy/polyester-based nanocomposites have been employed in non-flammable, anti-corrosion, anti-microbial, and anti-wear coatings in automotive, aerospace, energy, electronics, biomedical, and civil engineering applications. In order to fully utilize their potential, rigorous future attempts are needed for progress in the related technical fields.
