The anti-corrosion behaviour of epoxy coatings containing GO and rGO nanosheets was investigated. FESEM-EDS, FT-IR, and Raman spectroscopy were used to examine the microstructure and chemical composition of the nanosheets and epoxy coatings. EIS experiment was used to explore the corrosion behaviour of the coatings. The O/C ratio for GO and rGO-SLE was found to be 2.5 and 4.5, indicating a decrease in the carbon content after the reduction of GO, confirming the adsorption of SLE onto the GO nanosheets. The successful reduction of GO in the presence of SLE particles was confirmed by disappearing the C=O peak and a significant decrease in the C-O-C bond intensity. The epoxy/rGO- SLE coatings exhibited the highest double-layer thickness and excellent corrosion resistance compared to neat epoxy and epoxy/GO coatings, emphasizing the significant role of rGO in enhancing the protective performance of epoxy coatings. The highest values for total charge transfer and film resistances and the inhibition efficiency were observed to be 6529 Ω·cm^(2) and 90%, respectively, for the epoxy/rGO-SLE coated steel plate. It was also found that the epoxy/0.15 wt.% rGO-SLE coating demonstrates the best corrosion resistance performance.展开更多

Several coatings with different pigment volume content (PVC) were prepared. The coating morphology was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the electrochemical properties were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Immersion test and neutral salt spray test were also conducted to investigate the corrosion resistance of the coating. It is demonstrated that the critical pigment volume content (CPVC) value is between 30% and 40%. The coating with PVC of 30% exhibits good corrosion resistance in 3.5% (mass fraction) NaCl solution.展开更多
