Nanostructures of titanium dioxide, polyaniline, halloysite, and carbon nanotubes have an excellent effect to improve environmental protection and surface properties of coatings like anticorrosion and self-cleaning attributes. In this research, we studied the individual effect of adding each nanostructure within the polyurethane matrix and also all nanostructure combinations with each other on the mentioned properties. To reach this aim, the polyurethane nanocomposites were prepared; then, anticorrosion and self-cleaning tests were carried out on the samples. FTIR spectroscopy and FESEM images were used to characterize the nanocomposite additives and coating influence. According to the obtained results, the polyurethane coating modified with titanium dioxide/polyaniline/halloysite nanotube/carbon nanotube nanocomposite showed very higher corrosion potential and resistance and lower corrosion current in the comparison with other coatings. Also, the mentioned polyurethane nanocomposite coating showed good hydrophilicity and it decolorized a dye contaminant with high efficiency which makes them appropriate candidate for the protection of the substrate against environmental destructive factors.
