The paper presents results of investigation on the erosive wear kinetics of epoxy-polyurethane coatings modified with alumina or silica nanoparticles, aged climatically for three years. Destruction of coating surface layers due to natural weathering caused a decrease of their erosive wear resistance. Modification of the composition of polyurethane (surface) layer with nanofiller caused the remarkable increase of erosion resistance. Epoxy-polyurethane coatings with nanosilica modified surface layer, showed the highest erosive wear resistance of all investigated coatings.
The paper presents results of investigation on the erosive wear kinetics of epoxy coatings modified with alumina or silica nanoparticles. Natural weathering caused a decrease of their erosive wear resistance. After a 3-year natural weathering, highest erosive wear resistance showed the epoxy coating modified with alumina nanoparticles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
