AlOOH boehmite nanorods were used as a filler to develop sol gel based and polymer based hybrid composite coatings. The fracture toughness of the composite coatings was significantly improved by the nanorods as supported by nanoindentation test on sol gel based coatings and buckling test on polymer...
