Abstract
With the increasingly strict control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the research and application of waterborne coatings in the field of steel corrosion protection has been widely concerned. Graphene oxide (GO) and functionalized graphene are commonly used in waterborne epoxy coatings for enhanced anticorrosion. However, little attention has been paid to the effect of particle size of GO on the anticorrosion performance of composite coatings and the anticorrosion mechanism. Herein, the particle size and oxidation degree of GO were controlled by optimizing the current intensity of the electrochemical electrode. And the effects of particle size and oxidation degree of GO on the anticorrosion performance and adhesion strength of the composite coatings were also discussed. After 2 days immersion in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, the impedance modulus |Z|0.01Hz of GO-3/WEP increased from 1.68 × 107 Ω·cm2 to 6.87 × 108 Ω·cm2 compared to WEP. In addition, the anticorrosion mechanism of composite epoxy coating was revealed by Raman mapping and molecular dynamics simulation. Reducing the particle size and increasing the oxidation degree of GO sheets can effectively improve the anticorrosion performance of coatings. This work has theoretical significance for further improving the anticorrosion performance of GO-modified waterborne epoxy resin.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this international journal is to analyse and publicise the progress and current state of knowledge in the field of organic coatings and related materials. The Editors and the Editorial Board members will solicit both review and research papers from academic and industrial scientists who are actively engaged in research and development or, in the case of review papers, have extensive experience in the subject to be reviewed. Unsolicited manuscripts will be accepted if they meet the journal''s requirements. The journal publishes papers dealing with such subjects as:
• Chemical, physical and technological properties of organic coatings and related materials
• Problems and methods of preparation, manufacture and application of these materials
• Performance, testing and analysis.
