New hydrophobic silica nanoparticles capped with petroleum paraffin wax embedded in epoxy networks as multifunctional steel epoxy coatings

Effect of Egg-Coating Material Properties by Blending Cassava Starch with Methyl Celluloses and Waxes on Egg Quality

“…The water resistance of egg-coating materials is improved using mineral oil [32], soybean oil [33], fatty acids [42], and shellac [23]. Waxes are an edible natural biopolymer with hydrophobic properties [46] and are a suitable biomaterial to improve the water resistance of coating materials. Waxes exist in a solid state at ambient temperature and transform to a liquid state at higher temperatures, while low-molecular-weight (Mw) waxes are in a liquid state at room temperature.…”

Effects of TiO2 Nanoparticles on the Overall Performance and Corrosion Protection Ability of Neat Epoxy and PDMS Modified Epoxy Coating Systems

“…By incorporating nano-sized fillers into the polymer resin, it is aimed that this effort will enhance the anticorrosion and barrier properties of the polymer coating via various mechanisms, such as filling up the pores and reducing the matrix defects, bowing, bridging and deflecting the cracks (Ammar et al, 2016c). Also, the inorganic nano-sized filler tends to function as a connecting bridge linking between the matrix molecules, thus reducing the total free volume and promotes cross-linking (Shi et al, 2009;Heidarian et al, 2010;Atta et al, 2019). These mechanisms, in turn, delay the penetration activity which slows down the diffusion of corrosive agents in the coating layer from reaching to the coating-metal interface, thus decreasing the corrosion rate on the material surface.…”

Mesoporous silica/epoxy coated cotton fabric for durable oil-water separation

“…The synergistic influence of the SBA-15/epoxy contributed impressively toward increment of hydrophobic nature, which is in accordance with results of epoxy-coated different substrates reported earlier. [60][61][62] Hence, it is strongly believed that the addition of SBA-15 along with epoxy could create a porous channel distribution uniformly, which could subsequently able to reduces the contact between the water droplets to and the surface of cotton. The SFE values of the uncoated fabric and other treated fabrics were measured using two different medium namely water and diesel separately and the observed values are tabulated in Table 2 for comparison.…”
