Hybrid polymeric based nanocomposite coating systems (NCs) were fabricated by solution intercalation method with the use of epoxy (E) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as the host hybrid polymeric matrix and different weight ratio of SiO2 nanoparticles, ranging from 2 wt. % to 8 wt. %, as the reinforc...
