Abstract
Epoxy coatings that contained multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared. Further, the effect of the MWCNTs on the hydrophobicity and water transport behavior, and hence, on corrosion resistance provided by the epoxy coating were examined using hygrothermal cyclic tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The water transport behavior of epoxy coatings with higher MWCNT content decreased to a larger extent for coatings with higher surface hydrophobicity. The corrosion protection of carbon steel coated with epoxy coating that contained MWCNTs correlated well with water transport behavior and hydrophobicity.
