  Abstract: Polymer nanocomposites reinforced with layered nanofillers have emerged as an effective route to enhance structural stability in protective coating applications. Polymer–clay nanocomposites also provide a promising route to enhance mechanical robustness and environmental durability in coating systems. In this study, a hybrid epoxy–polyurethane (EPU) coating was reinforced using organo-modified montmorillonite (o-MMT) and layered double hydroxide intercalated with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (LDH–MBT). Uniform dispersion and interfacial anchoring between the nanoclays and polymer chains …
