Enhancement in Nanomechanical, Thermal, and Abrasion Properties of SiO<sub>2</sub> Nanoparticle-Modified Epoxy Coatings
Epoxy formulations containing 1%, 3%, and 5% SiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles (SNPs) were produced and applied to mild steel substrates in order to improve their thermal, nanomechanical, and abrasion resistance. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) was used to analyze the di...
