This study modified graphene oxide (GO) with hydrophilic octadecylamine (ODA) via covalent bonding to improve its dispersion in silicone-modified epoxy resin (SMER) coatings. The structural and physical properties of ODA-GO were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and contact angle tests. The ODA-GO composite materials were added to SMER coatings by physical mixing. FE-SEM, water absorption, and contact angle tests were used to evaluate the physical properties of the ODA-GO/SMER coatings, while salt spray, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and scanning Kelvin probe (SKP) methods were used to test the anticorrosive performance of ODA-GO/SMER composite coatings on Q235 steel substrates. It was found that ODA was successfully grafted onto the surfaces of GO. The resulting ODA-GO material exhibited good hydrophobicity and dispersion in SMER coatings. The anticorrosive properties of the ODA-GO/SMER coatings were significantly improved due to the increased interfacial adhesion between the nanosheets and SMER, lengthening of the corrosive solution diffusion path, and increased cathodic peeling resistance. The 1 wt.% ODA-GO/SMER coating provided the best corrosion resistance than SMER coatings with other amounts of ODA-GO (including no addition). After immersion in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution for 28 days, the low-frequency end impedance value of the 1 wt.% ODA-GO/SMER coating remained high, at 6.2 × 108 Ω·cm2.

Nano-polydopamine-graphene oxide-TiO2 (nano-PDA@GO-TiO2) composites were prepared by dopamine modified graphene oxide (GO) and loaded nano-TiO2 on the surface of GO. The structure and morphology of nano-PDA@GO-TiO2 composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Transmission electron microscope (TEM) Results demonstrate that the introduction of dopamine to functionalize the GO could self-polymerize polydopamine (PDA) on the surfaces of the GO and endow abundant chemical groups reduce the GO. The interaction between the GO and nano-TiO2 particles could prevent graphene nanosheets from restacking and nano-TiO2 particles from agglomeration. Nano-PDA@GO-TiO2 composite material was used as the nano-filler, and nano-PDA@GO-TiO2 composites waterborne epoxy resin coatings (PGT/WEP) were prepared by dispersing a different content of nano-PDA@GO-TiO2 composites into waterborne epoxy resin with the help of ultrasonic dispersion and mechanical agitation. The physical properties of PGT/WEP coatings, such as hardness, impact resistance, and adhesion, were tested and the electrochemical performance was evaluated. The results show that dispersing 2% nano-PDA@GO-TiO2 composites in waterborne epoxy resin could significantly improve the physical properties and corrosion resistance of waterborne epoxy resin coating when compared with pure waterborne epoxy coating.

In this paper, graphene oxide (GO) was grafted with sodium tripolyphosphate (STP) to achieve a new anti-corrosive pigment (STG) with homogenous dispersion in waterborne epoxy (EP). The results obtained from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) revealed that STP was successfully combined with GO by chemical bonding. The corrosion resistance of EP, GO/EP and STG/EP coatings on carbon steel substrates was investigated via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and salt spray test. The EIS results showed that the impedance value of coating with 0.7 wt.% STG reached 1.019 × 109 Ω∙cm2, which was considerably higher than that of neat waterborne EP coatings. Salt spray test results revealed once again that STG (0.7 wt.%)/EP coating had superior corrosion resistance. Besides, the STG (0.7 wt.%)/EP coated sample showed the highest adhesion strength between coating and substrate.

Graphene oxide–titanium (GO-Ti) composite materials were fabricated using GO as a precursor and then anchoring nano titanium (Nano-Ti) particles on GO sheets with the help of a silane coupling agent. Then, the coating samples were prepared by dispersing GO, Nano-Ti particles, and GO-Ti in an epoxy resin at a low weight fraction of 1 wt %. The GO-Ti composites were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The dispersibility and anti-corrosion mechanism of the coatings were studied by sedimentation experiments, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), SEM, and salt spray tests. The mechanical properties of the coatings were analyzed by friction and wear tests. The results showed that the Nano-Ti particles were successfully loaded on the GO surface by chemical bonds, which made GO-Ti composites exhibit better dispersibility in the epoxy than GO. Compared with Nano-Ti particles and GO, the GO-Ti composite exhibited significant advantages in improving the corrosion resistance of epoxy coatings at the same contents, which was attributed to the excellent dispersibility, inherent corrosion resistance, and sheet structure. Among the different proportions of composite materials, the GO-Ti (2:1) material exhibited the best dispersibility and corrosion resistance. In addition, the composite material also greatly improved the wear resistance of the coating.

In order to improve the corrosion resistance of zinc-rich epoxy coatings and reduce the amount of zinc used, first, graphene oxide (GO) was modified by sulfonated multiwall carbon nanotubes (SMWCNTs) to obtain the modified graphene oxide (SM-GO). The samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. Then, four kinds of coatings were prepared, namely pure zinc-rich coating (0-ZRC), graphene oxide-based zinc-rich coating (GO-ZRC), sulfonated multiwall carbon nanotube-based zinc-rich coating (SM-ZRC) and SM-GO-based zinc-rich coating (SG-ZRC). The corrosion resistance of the above coatings was studied by open circuit potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), a salt spray test, 3D confocal microscope, and electron scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results indicate that GO is successfully non-covalently modified by SMWCNTs, of which the interlayer spacing increases and dispersion is improved. The order of the corrosion resistance is GO-ZRC > SG-ZRC > SM-ZRC > 0-ZRC. The addition of GO, SMWCNTs, and SM-GO increases the shielding effect and increases the electrical connection between Zn particles and metal substrates, which improves the corrosion resistance. However, SMWCNTs and SM-GO also strengthen the galvanic corrosion, which decreases the corrosion resistance to some extent.

The development of waterborne coating is essentially important for environmental protection, and cross-linking agent is of great significance for ensuring corrosion resistance of the coating. In this work, tetrabutyl titanate was modified by ethylene glycol and tris(2-hydroxyethyl) amine and used for the solidification of waterborne acrylic-epoxy resin. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis revealed that the agent reacted with OH groups first to cross-link the resin preliminarily, and then, when the amount of agent was further increased, the amino groups opened epoxide rings resulting in a secondary cross-link. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) observation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test found that, when the cross-linking agent was used at 6%, the coating remains intact and kept an impedance of as high as 108Ωcm2 even after being immersed in NaCl solution for 30 days. Copper-accelerated acetic acid-salt spray (CASS) test confirmed that the coating containing 6% cross-linking agent provided the best protection for the carbon steel substrate.

Microcrystalline graphite (MG) was used as raw material and oxidated by Hummers method. And further the graphene oxide (GO) was obtained by ultrasonic stripping. The TP modified graphene (TPG) was prepared by the surface grafting of pure natural green tea extract tea polyphenols (TP) on the surface of GO. Finally, the TPG/epoxy resin composite was prepared by solution blending and heat-curing moulding method.The characterization of structure and properties of TPG was analyzed by X ray diffraction pattern (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and X ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). A universal material testing machine was used to test the mechanical properties of epoxy resin composites with different addition of TPG. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the tensile-sectional morphology of the composites. The thermal stability of the composites was investigated by thermogravimetry and thermal dilatometer. The experimental results showed that the TP molecule was successfully grafted on the oxygen-containing functional groups of the GO surface through the phenolic hydroxyl group.When the addition of TPG was 1.0 wt%, the decomposition temperature of the epoxy resin was increased by 22.2 °C,and the surface resistivity decreased from 1.35×1014 Ω·m to 1.7×109 Ω·m. When the added amount of TPG was 0.5 wt%, the tensile strength of composites was increased by 13.5% reaching 59.85 MPa.

AbstractWater electrolysis is an environment-friendly process of producing hydrogen with zero-carbon emission. Herein, we studied the water vapor electrolysis using a proton-conducting membrane composed of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets intercalated with cations (Al3+ and Ce3+). We examined the effect of cation introduction on the physical and chemical structures, morphology, thermal and chemical stabilities, and the proton conductivity of stacked GO nanosheet membranes by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Concentration cell measurements revealed that the cation-modified membranes are pure proton conductors at room temperature. The proton conductivity of a GO membrane was much improved by cation modification. The cation-modified GO membranes, sandwiched with Pt/C electrodes as the cathode and anode, electrolyzed humidified air to produce hydrogen at room temperature, indicating the feasibility of this carbon-based electrochemical device.

New Treatments

New treatments for replacement of chromate require lower toxicity and corrosion protection. This study aims to investigate the influence of the combination of a Ce conversion coating (CCCe) with glycol molecules on the corrosion resistance of the AA2024-T3 clad (AA1230). The corrosion resistance of surface treated and untreated samples was evaluated by electrochemical techniques (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, polarization tests and open circuit potential). These tests were complemented by salt spray tests to accelerate the corrosive effects of weathering. The surfaces were analyzed after corrosion tests by scanning electron microscopy with X-ray energy dispersive detector (SEM - EDX). The results of the CCCe samples in combination with glycol were compared with that of the surface with chromate layer and the results showed that the CCCe treatment is a candidate for replacement of chromating with the advantage that it does not generate toxic residues. The self-healing capacity of the new treatment tested was indicated by the increased formation of corrosion products deposition on top of Fe rich intermetallis in the AA1230 clad with time of exposure to the electrolyte.

Tin Bronze

Bronze alloys are made of copper-based materials with another metal, usually tin. Many surface modification techniques such as chemical etching, oxidation, electro deposition and sol-gel could be employed to improve surface properties. The organic compound that was used in this study was extracted from chili peppers. FT-IR (Fourier-transform infrared) spectroscopy and UV (Ultraviolet) spectroscopy investigations were applied on the extracted compound and results showed that this compound is mainly capsaicin [N-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-8-methylnon-trans-6-enamide) (HMMTE)]. Electrochemical deposition was employed under cell voltage equal to 30 volts in a two-electrodes cell where bronze was the anode and stainless steel was the cathode in a solution of 10 ml/L (HMMTE)/distilled-water. Modification of tin-bronze for 1 hr. in 10 ml/L HMMTE/ distilled water solution increased the contact angle from 48° to 132˚. Attension Biolin device (Model: Theta Optical Tensiometers) was used to measure the contact angle at ambient temperature. Electrochemical measurements revealed that a significant improvement in corrosion resistance of tin-bronze in 3.5% NaCl had been achieved. The corrosion rate of tin-bronze decreased from 10.22 mpy to 1.39 mpy. Surface morphology of the samples was investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEN) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). X-ray diffraction was employed to determined present phases. Surface investigations results confirmed that a layer of red cuprous oxide (Cu2O) was formed on the surface layer after modification which led to the improvement in corrosion resistance. Salt spray test was carried out using Alpha+ Salt Spray Testing Equipment for 13 days on the base and surface modified samples according to ASTM B117. A green layer from [CuCl2 and Cu46Cl24(OH)68-(H2O)4] was observed on the nonmodified specimen (could be patina and bronze disease) while the red layer [Cu2O] is still observed on the modified specimen. Adhesion test (using X-Cut Tape Adhesion test according to ASTM D3359) was also investigated.

Improving the corrosion resistance of epoxy resin coatings has become the focus of current research. This study focuses on synthesizing a functionalized silane coupling agent (2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl triethoxysilane) to modify the surface of graphene oxide to address nanomaterial agglomeration and enhance the coating resistance of the epoxy resin coating to corrosion by filling the coating with functionalized graphene oxide. Functionalized graphene oxide and coatings filled with functionalized graphene oxide were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The corrosion performance of each coating was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and a salt spray test. Results showed that the incorporation of functionalized graphene oxide enhances the corrosion protection performance of the epoxy composite coating, and the composite coating exhibited the best anticorrosion performance when the amount of functionalized graphene oxide was 0.7 wt %.
