A new series of polymeric nanocomposites was fabricated as an outstanding surface nanocomposite coating. The coatings’ mechanical robustness and protective qualities of polymeric nanocompoites are essential objectives of this study. Many investigation techniques were used to clarify the structures, sizes, and morphologies of proposed polymeric nanocomposites and nanofillers. The created nanocomposite was filmed as a surface coating using an air-assisted spray technique. Various percentages of graphitic nanosheets were loaded into polymer resin and the produced nanocomposites were examined to investigate the structure-property relationship. The coated specimens were subjected to a salt spray test to examine their corrosion protection. Impact, T-bending, and crosscut test techniques were used to evaluate mechanical durability. The developed composites have several advantages, including elasticity, surface heterogeneity, and surface protection properties. As enchanting material, well-dispersed nanofiller distribution in the polymeric nanostructured coating offer potential surface coatings for environmentally sustainable applications.
