Polymer functional coatings modified by ZrP‐based composites: Preparation and applications on marine concrete

Abstract

The development of high-performance coatings for concrete structures is essential to ensure their durability and service life. However, most of the proposed developed strategies suffer from various limitations, especially regarding the wear and biological-corrosion resistances of the coatings. This work reports a facile and efficient method to prepare effective composite coatings by nanomodification, in which the intercalated composites play structural and functional roles in the corrosion, wear, and biological-corrosion resistances.

Understanding erosion resistance mechanisms of sodium aluminate silicate hydrate in erosion environments: a molecular dynamics study

“…To address the issue of insufficient durability of marine concrete and the problem of environmental pollution, current engineering practices commonly employ several methods to enhance the concrete's permeability, such as polymer-modified concrete, 11 cathodic protection, 12 epoxy coatings, 13 surface coatings, and the incorporation of rust inhibitors. 14 While these methods exhibit a certain level of maturity, further research on erosion-resistant materials is required, considering the current global challenges of resource scarcity and environmental pollution.…”
