Next-Generation Composite Coating System: Nanocoating
Abstract
Nanocoating combines the protective properties of conventional coating system with effects on nanoscale such as high hardness, UV scattering, and uniform dispersing. Their facile and low-cost synthesis, together with superior protective properties and multi-functionalities, makes nanocoating attractive candidates for next-generation coating systems. In this review, a brief introduction regarding mainstream nanocoating and its related challenges including the zinc oxide-, titanium dioxide-, silica dioxide-, graphene-, carbon nanotube-based nanocoating system is presented. Finally, a perspective of the nanocoating is demonstrated.
