Abstract In this study, composite coatings of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and epoxy resin deposited with La2O3 and MoS2 nanoparticles on the surface of a Babbitt alloy have been studied in order to improve its tribological performance. A pin-on-disc tribometer was used to evaluate the tribological properties of the Babbitt alloys with and without the composite coatings. The results showed that compared with the polymer-La2O3 composite coating, the polymer-MoS2 composite coating was more effective in reducing the friction coefficient and the wear rate of the Babbitt substrate under both dry and boundary lubrication conditions compared with the polymer-La2O3 composite coating. However, the wear rate of the Babbitt alloy with the polymer-La2O3 composite coating was lower than that of the alloy with the polymer-MoS2 composite coating. The wear scratches were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The worn surface of the polymer-La2O3 coating was much smoother and more continuous than that of the polymer-MoS2 coating, meanwhile transfer films were respectively detected on the pin surfaces. The addition of nanoparticles can reduce the wear rate and friction coefficient of polymer composite coating by forming a transfer film. Hence, the polymer composite coating can protect the Babbitt substrate.

In this study, novel silane functionalized graphene oxide (PVSQ-GO) composite material is synthesized through the hydrolysis condensation reaction of vinyl triethoxysilane monomers occurred at the surface of graphene oxide. Results obtained from FTIR, Raman, X-ray photoelectronic spectroscopy (XPS), XRD and TGA measurements reveal that polyvinyl sesquisiloxane microspheres adhere to graphene oxide lamellae in the form of chemical bonds. Meanwhile, it is intuitive that abundant polyvinyl sesquisiloxane microspheres stick to the surface of graphene oxide and increase the thickness of the flake. Modified graphene oxide changes from hydrophilicity to hydrophobicity were owing to the existence of polyvinyl sesquisiloxane microspheres on the surface of graphene oxide (GO). PVSQ-GO composite exhibited good dispersion in eco-friendly waterborne polyurethane coating. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy manifested that the anti-corrosion performance of waterborne polyurethane (WPU) coating embedded at 0.5 wt.% PVSQ-GO composite improved effectively. Tafel curves reveal that 0.5 wt.% PVSQ-GO/WPU coating specimen shows the lowest corrosion rate of 8.95 × 10−5 mm/year when compared with the other coating specimens. The good anti-corrosion abilities of PVSQ-GO composite coating can be interpreted as the good compatibility between PVSQ-GO composite and waterborne polyurethane, however, the intrinsic hydrophobicity of PVSQ-GO composite is beneficial to inhibit the permeation of corrosive medium and thus slows down the corrosion rate.

Corrosion is the principal reason for causing degradation of steel material properties, and coating is one of the most popular and effective ways to protect steel from corrosion. There are many kinds of coatings with different constituents, mechanisms and effectiveness. This paper presents a comprehensive review on the development of coating technology including traditional coatings, hydrophobic coatings, conducting polymer coatings and nanopolymer composite coatings. In particular, conducting polymers and nanopolymer composite coatings are reviewed in detail, which are the most popular and promising coatings. The advantages and limitations of each coating method as well as the influencing factors on corrosion protection are elaborated. Finally, the future research and applications are proposed.
