A halloysite-based geopolymer filled with microwax particles was designed as a protective layer on steel substrates. Beeswax microparticles were obtained from the clay stabilized Pickering emulsions and they were homogeneously dispersed within the geopolymeric network, thus improving the coating physico-chemical properties. Specifically, this treatment changed the steel's wettability by increasing its hydrophobicity. Moreover, XRF analysis was conducted in order to have details on the chemical compositions.

Abstract

A halloysite-based geopolymer filled with microwax particles was designed as a protective layer on steel substrates. Beeswax microparticles were obtained from the clay stabilized Pickering emulsions and they were homogeneously dispersed within the geopolymeric network, thus improving the coating physico-chemical properties. Specifically, this treatment changed the steel's wettability by increasing its hydrophobicity. Moreover, XRF analysis was conducted in order to have details on the chemical compositions.
