Abstract
In this work, different amounts of montmorillonite were added to cerium nitrate epoxy mixture. Nanocomposite coatings containing cerium nitrate were applied on cold rolled steel panels. The state of dispersion and incorporation were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. To investigate anticorrosive properties of nanocomposites, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, polarization measurement and salt spray tests were employed. Results showed that epoxy cerium nanocomposite coatings were superior to the neat epoxy in corrosion protection properties. Also, it was observed that the best corrosion protection was achieved with nanocomposite coatings containing 4 wt.% and 2 wt.% cerium nitrate.
