Abstract

A proper combination of graphene and metal oxide nanoparticles has been considered as an efficient reinforcement material in developing next-generation multifunctional coatings. In this study a simple method has been applied to fabricate graphene nanocomposite with the inclusion of cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles which can be effectively implemented as a reinforcement material in polyurethane (PU) coatings for corrosion protection. The corrosion resistance of mild steel coated with a PU coating containing graphene/CeO2 was pointedly higher than with a pure PU coating and a PU coating with graphene alone. The obtained result suggests a new prospect for solving the corrosion issues encountered on mild steel structures in industrial applications by using multifunctional hybrid coatings with nanostructured reinforcements.
