Evaluation of the Thermal properties of Epoxy-Agro waste (Egg shell and Palm kernel shell) Nanoparticle coating for Mild Steel

Epoxy has been widely used as a coating material to protect the steel reinforcement in concrete structures, because of its outstanding processability, excellent chemical resistance, good electrical insulating properties, and strong adhesion/affinity. The major disadvantage raised from exothermic curing reaction highly crosslinked epoxy matrix is brittleness microcracks that change performances. barrier performance coatings can be enhanced by incorporation inorganic filler particles at nanometer scale which dispersed within resin form an nanocomposite. parametric addition eggshell ash nanoparticles (ESAnp) palm kernel shell nanoparticle (PKSAnp) for mild was studied. Thermal decomposition observed terms global mass loss using TGA Q50 thermogravimetric analyzer. Improvement 78.05% 82.56% thermal properties were obtained epoxy-4wt%ESAnp epoxy-5wt%PKSAnp 1000°C. This work showed have best applications.
