Using an epoxy as the matrix, GO/epoxy, HNT/epoxy, and hybrid GO/HNT/epoxy samples are prepared and the performance is characterized. The hybridization of GO and HNT leads to improve the barrier properties with EGO0.6H0.3 hybrid sample endows optimum synergistic effect. This is due to the improved state of nanofiller dispersion as well as better interfacial adhesion between the nanofillers and matrix which was confirmed by Transmission Electron microscopy (TEM) images. The Salt Spray test (SST) results corresponding to these effects reaffirmed that the corrosion resistance of the hybrid coatings improved with increasing the inorganic phase content. The thermal stability and flammability properties were investigated using Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI). The results of the LOI test showed that the addition of nanofillers marginally increases the LOI value of the epoxy NC. These results manifestly demonstrated that the formation of an efficient hybrid network slightly enhanced the coating performance through the synergy effect of hybrid nanofillers. © 2020 AIDIC Servizi S.r.l. date: 2020 publisher: Italian Association of Chemical Engineering - AIDIC official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85082833471&doi=10.3303%2fCET2078089&partnerID=40&md5=6e1c7f048767569c992018c3bb48f112 id_number: 10.3303/CET2078089 full_text_status: none publication: Chemical Engineering Transactions volume: 78 pagerange: 529-534 refereed: TRUE issn: 22839216 citation: Kabeb, S.M. and Hassan, A. and Mohamad, Z. and Sharer, Z. and Mokhtar, M. and Ahmad, F.
