Author : Chinmaya Chandra Nayak and Dr. Anil Sharma
Abstract
This research focuses on the fabrication and characterization of nanoparticle-loaded polymer coatings exhibiting multifunctional properties, such as antimicrobial activity, self-healing capabilities, and corrosion resistance. The integration of nanoparticles, such as silver (Ag), zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and graphene oxide (GO), into polymer matrices enhances the functional attributes of these coatings. The study evaluates the synthesis techniques, material properties, and performance characteristics of these nanocomposite coatings. Advanced analytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), are utilized to assess their structural, antimicrobial, self-repair, and corrosion inhibition properties. The findings reveal significant improvements in protective performance, durability, and sustainability, making these coatings suitable for biomedical, marine, and industrial applications.
