Corrosion-Resisting Nanocarbon Nanocomposites for Aerospace Application: An Up-to-Date Account

The design and necessity of corrosion-resisting nanocarbon nanocomposites have been investigated for cutting-edge aerospace applications. In this regard, nanofillers, especially carbon nanotubes, graphene, nanodiamond, etc. used to fill in various polymeric matrices (thermosets, thermoplastics, conducting polymers) develop anti-rusting space-related nanocomposites. This review fundamentally emphases the design, anti-corrosion properties, application polymer/nanocarbon space sector. An electron-conducting network is created polymers with dispersion assist charge transportation, thus polymers’ corrosion resistance features. mechanism depends upon formation tortuous diffusion pathways due nanofiller arrangement matrices. Moreover, matrix–nanofiller interactions interface play an important role enhancing protection properties. anticorrosion were tested their adhesion, contact angle, impedance NaCl tests scratch carried out. Among polymers, epoxy was found be superior polymer, relative thermoplastic these nanotube a loading up 7 wt.% matrix desirable resistance. On other hand, graphene contents 1 nanodiamond 0.2–0.4 enhance matrix. impedance, anticorrosion, adhesion properties better than those materials. Despite success applications, thorough research efforts are still needed high-performance materials completely replace use metal components industry.
