Abstract

Epoxy-Graphene (E/G) composites were synthesized and evaluated as a corrosion protection coating on Stainless Steel type 304 (SS304) using in situ polymerization approach. Coatings were synthesized at various process variables in order to optimize the corrosion protection efficiency of the prepared protective E/G coating. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) electrochemical measurements were conducted to evaluate the protection efficiency of the prepared coatings. In addition, dispersion of graphene in the polymeric matrix was observed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The study revealed that load of graphene as well as mixing time significantly influenced the corrosion protection efficiency, where the protection efficiency increased simultaneously with load of graphene.
