Abstract
In the present study the effect of weight percentage of nanoclay with epoxy resin coating on mechanical properties (impact strength, hardness, and wear rate), Adhesion test and thermal properties (thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermal expansion coefficient (CTE), the weight percentage of nano clay at (0,1,3,5,7) wt%, has been investigated. Results indicated, that when increase the weight ratio of nano clay the value of impact strength increased, hardness and decreasing wear rate up 5wt%, and at 7 wt% that the impact strength, hardness would be decreased and wear rate increase due to agglomeration of nano clay. The strength adhesion pull off of the epoxy coating was 1.76 Mpa, when adding nano clay, improve the adhesion properties of the epoxy coating at the ratio of 5%. The improved the thermal stability of the nanoclay filled with epoxy coating. Thermal stability is very important for coating materials.
