Modified graphene oxide in corrosion protection coatings
Recent studies highlight how hybrid coatings made of epoxy resin, SiO₂, and graphene oxide (GO) can significantly enhance the mechanical and anti-corrosive properties of aluminum. These materials show promise for extending the service life of aerospace components.
Graphene oxide has proven to be an extremely promising additive for corrosion protection coatings. Due to its chemical inertness, permeation resistance, and high mechanical strength, it is an ideal candidate for applications in corrosion protection technology. Additionally, the oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of graphene oxide provide hydrophilic properties and enable efficient chemical functionalization, improving both its dispersibility and corrosion inhibition capabilities.
Modification and Application in Coatings
Research has further explored the potential of modified graphene oxide as a corrosion inhibitor. These modifications expand its range of applications, especially in innovative coatings that are pH-responsive. The modified coatings offer enhanced protective functions and could potentially provide a sustainable solution for various corrosion issues. Moreover, more emphasis is being placed on the synthesis of these modified graphene oxide inhibitors to better understand the corrosion mechanisms and optimize the performance of the coatings.
