The Future of MWCNTs Coatings: A World of Possibilities

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are widely applied in coatings to enhance mechanical
strength, resist corrosion, and interact effectively in biological contexts. Incorporating MWCNTs with
materials such as titania improves adhesion, corrosion resistance, and modifies surface structure,
making them ideal for applications involving osteoblast adhesion. Additionally, MWCNTs enhance
permittivity parameters when integrated into gelatin nanocomposites, studied via FTIR and SEM
analyses for their interactions with polymers. In corrosion protection coatings, combining MWCNTs
with Zinc has proven effective against corrosive agents, with varying ratios influencing performance.
In electronic devices, MWCNTs coatings provide inherent conductivity, ideal for creating antistatic
films that dissipate electrostatic charges and safeguard sensitive electronics. For marine
applications, MWCNTs coatings enhance corrosion resistance and reduce biofouling on ships and
offshore structures exposed to harsh saltwater environments.
MWCNTs coatings with high thermal conductivity are utilized on heat sinks to enhance heat
dissipation from electronic components, thereby improving operational efficiency and reducing
temperatures. In aerospace, MWCNTs coatings on aircraft components manage heat during flight,
contributing to overall efficiency and performance.
