Hybrid Nanoclay–Polymer Coatings with Embedded Corrosion-Sensing Microchips for Predictive Maintenance SystemsBy Y. Sherlin Nisha, Nagasrisaihari Sunkara, Parameswari. S, S.Rama, Hari Banda, Rajabharathi B, Jagath Narayana Kamineni, Sheik Mydeen S, S. M. Prakash
Abstract: Polymer-composite coatings provide a versatile route for combining corrosion protection, barrier reinforcement, and functional monitoring within a single material architecture. In this study, an epoxy-based polymer composite reinforced with organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) was developed as a multifunctional protective coating and integrated with an embedded corrosion-sensing microchip. OMMT contents of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 wt.% were incorporated into the epoxy polymer-composite matrix through mechanical stirring and ultrasonication, while neat …
