| Abstract Scope |
Corrosion remains a critical issue in industrial environments, leading to severe structural degradation and significant economic losses, especially in sectors such as offshore oil platforms and pipelines exposed to harsh, corrosive conditions. Protective coatings, including structural paints and pipe linings, are commonly used to extend the service life of metallic structures. Epoxy resin stands out for its excellent chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and cost-effectiveness; however, its non-recyclable nature poses sustainability challenges. To address this, the present study investigates an eco-friendly composite developed by incorporating fine glass waste particles into the epoxy matrix. This approach aims to reduce the environmental footprint of conventional coatings while maintaining or improving their protective performance. Incorporation of glass waste up to 20 vol% did not compromise the mechanical properties, confirming the feasibility of this sustainable alternative. Overall, the proposed strategy promotes resource efficiency and aligns with circular economy and green engineering principles. |
