Abstract: Highlights: [•] The epoxy/clay Cloisite 30B NCs were prepared by the solution intercalation method. [•] A mainly exfoliated structure changed to intercalated one by increasing clay content. [•] NC with 1wt% clay exhibited the best corrosion resistance in 3% NaCl solution. [•] In salt spray tests the coatings with 1–3wt% clay showed anticorrosive improvements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
