Metal oxide based epoxy coatings for corrosion protection of steel

Decadence of metals is often due to several environmental factors. To prevent the deterioration of metals, a durable epoxy layer of metal oxides is utilized, that provide ultimate resistance and protection against corrosion. These metal oxides can be a monomer or a hybrid polymerized mixture of different components. This paper includes the study of epoxy film on steel to fight against corrosion using metal oxides of cerium ions, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and graphene oxide and to describe the efficacy of these primers. Different techniques would be used with time monitored process such as Electrochemical studies, salt spray studies, FT-IR, XRD, TEM and XPS analyses that would reveal comparable results.
