Abstract
Corrosion of metals is a serious concern that can cause a lot of damage economically. In the past decades, various methods have been used to prevent corrosion, among which the use of polymer coatings is particularly preferred. Among the coatings, epoxy is highly regarded, in fact, they are in the group of thermoset resins and are cured with different types of materials. They are widely used due to their excellent mechanical properties, strong adhesion to many substrates, dimensional stability, and thermal and chemical resistance. Nanofillers can be used to improve the properties of epoxy coatings. Meanwhile, graphene and MXene have received much attention due to their unique properties. In this review, the synthesis of graphene and MXene is investigated, and the use of these two nanoparticles in epoxy coatings is also investigated.
