Epoxy-trimetallic oxide (epoxy-TMO) coatings of ZrO2:TiO2:ZnO at different compositions were synthesized and used to protect a stainless steel surface. The different TMO compositions were synthesized using the ball-milling method and later dispersed on the polymer matrix. The different characterizations performed on these coatings showed that the epoxy-TMO coating with a ratio of 50:40:10 (wt%) exhibited the highest corrosion resistance, in the order of ~1012 Ωcm2, due to the barrier effect of the distributed particles after 28 days in an aggressive environment (3.5 wt% NaCl solution). The influence of the metal oxides in forming a semiconductor layer produces a capacitor-like behavior, influencing corrosion control via a mass transfer mechanism barrier. The water uptake reveals the effect of each metal oxide in the formation of a physical barrier due to the dispersion mechanism, as well as how the particles function within the polymer matrix.
