Abstract
A saltwater corrosion resistant hybrid composite is provided. The saltwater corrosion resistant hybrid composite coating includes at least one conductive polymer, crumb rubber, and a cured epoxy. The conductive polymer is dispersed in particles of the crumb rubber to form a network. The network is dispersed in the cured epoxy to form the saltwater corrosion resistant hybrid composite coating. A method of making of the saltwater corrosion resistant hybrid composite is also provided. A metal when coated with the resistant hybrid composite of the present disclosure is resistant to salt-water corrosion.
Claims19
A saltwater corrosion resistant hybrid composite coating, comprising:
- at least one conductive polymer;
