Improving protective functioning of silane coatings using polyaniline grafted carbon nanotubes

In a joint investigation, researchers from Institute for Color Science and Technology, B. Ramezanzadeh, M. Mahdavian, M. Ramezanzadeh and researchers from University of Tehran, R. Naderi and S. Akbarzadeh, successfully grafted polyaniline (PAni) on to the carbon nano tubes (CNTs). The resulting nanocomposite showed great impact on corrosion protection of silane coatings.
