AbstractThe hybrid coatings containing the graphene nano-sheet (GNS) and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) phases have been successfully synthesized on Ti6Al7Nb alloys by a one-step hydrothermal method. The hydrothermal reaction was carried out for 24 h at 200 °C. The GNS ratio has been altered as 1, 3, 5 and 7 wt.% in the coatings and, the results have compared with non- GNS containing coatings. The effect of the GNS ratio on the microstructure, hardness, and in vitro corrosion responses has been investigated in detail. The characterizations of the coatings were carried out by SEM, EDS, AFM, XRD and, FTIR. The corrosion behavior of the hybrid coatings was compared in Kokubo’s solution at 37 °C by using potentiodynamic polarization tests. The results showed that the hydroxyapatite phases were deposed on the graphene layers with nano-size nucleation with its Ca/P stoichiometric ratio. The best hydrophilicity (~52°) property has been obtained in nHA/3GNS coatings. In addition, the corrosion rates of coatings increased in the following order: nHA/3GNS < nHA/1GNS < nHA/7GNS < nHA/5GNS < only nHA.

Graphene nanosheet (GNS)/ Al2O3 composite powder with homogeneously distributed GNSs has been fabricated from wet ball milled expanded graphite and Al2O3, and then followed by the rotary evaporator at relatively low temperature to dry the mixture and the residual solvent was removed in atmosphere-vacuum pipe-type furnace accessing mixed gases of Argon and Hydrogen at 600 for 6h. During the process, homogeneously dispersed and mixed GNS/ Al2O3 composite powders with quite few damage of GNSs structure and properties have been obtained. The microstructures and grain sizes of GNS/ Al2O3 composite powders have been investigated. The results showed that the addition of GNSs had diminished the size of Al2O3 particles and also the as-prepared GNSs/ Al2O3 composite powders can be dispersed and mixed more homogeneously remarkably with the presence of GNSs.
