Synthesis and characterization of titanium oxide nanotubes and its performance in epoxy nanocomposite coating

- Titanium oxide nanotubes synthesized from hydrothermal treatment of TiO2 particles.
- Titanium oxide nanotubes (TiO2 nanotube, TNT) structure confirmed by TEM and XRD.
- Perfect dispersion of TNT confirmed by SEM, the max concentration of TNT was 50 g/l.
- Addition of TNT to epoxy resin increases mech., thermal and corrosion resistance.
- Epoxy nanocomposite coating showed better results than the micro composite coating.
