Revealing the Impact of Micro-SiO Filer Content on the Anti-Corrosion Performance of Water-Borne Epoxy Resin.

Due to green development in recent years, water-borne epoxy resins (WBE) have become increasingly popular since they generate the lowest level of volatile organic compounds (VOC) during curing. However, because of the large surface tension of water, it is easy to produce voids and cracks during the curing process of the coating. An electrochemical strategy was used in this study to assess the impact of different SiO content on the corrosion performance of a WBE coating, in which micron spherical SiO particles were synthesized in a liquid phase reduction.
