Hybrid Conducting Nanocomposites Coatings for Corrosion Protection

Abstract

Recently, several studies in the fields of new materials have introduced the possibility to use CPs as suitable matrices to disperse nanostructured elements, such as nanoparticles or nanotubes. It has been shown that the introduction of nanostructures into a polymer matrix can improve the electrical conductivity and the mechanical properties of the original polymer matrix. The combination of conductive polymers with conductive particles (better if carbon nanostructures), producing a new class of materials known as hybrid conducting nanocompo‐ sites, has already shown some synergistic properties, with a variety of applications in the energy field.
