Abstract We developed two-coat polymeric nanocomposite coatings for the protection of steel structures from the thermal and corrosive environment. To protect the steel structures, the coating selectivity is crucial; we have chosen the coating such way, the coated surface has low surface energy polymer which has low surface polarity. The polymer nanocomposite coatings were prepared using polydimethylsiloxane with an optimal amount of zirconia nanoparticle. The incorporation of zirconia nanoparticle has extended the thermal stability and efficient corrosion protection of steel substrates. The formulated coatings exhibited a superhydrophobic characteristic with CA-165° and low contact angle hysteresis (
