Epoxy resin coatings were prepared with phytic acid-doped graphene oxide (PA-GO) to modify epoxy resins (EP). The aim was to improve the dispersion of GO in waterborne epoxy resin, and thus to improve the corrosion resistance of steel structures. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results showed that PA-GO was successfully prepared and has a better dispersion in epoxy resin. This is mainly due to the PA insert, which increased the layer spacing of the GO. The results obtained under the controlled corrosive environment showed that the specimen coated with EP containing 1.0 wt.% PA-GO had better corrosion resistance than other samples. This resistance was also two orders of magnitude higher than pure epoxy coating. The main reason for this is that the dispersion of GO in waterborne epoxy resin had been improved.

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.

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.

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 %.

The cation transport behavior of thermally treated reduced graphene oxide membranes (GOMs) is reported. The GOMs were reduced by heat treatment at 25, 80, and 120 °C and then characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to determine oxygen group content, C/O ratio, and layer spacing. The permeation rates of various cations with different sizes and charge numbers through these membranes were measured to understand the effect of the cations on transport behavior. The results indicated that the cation transport through the membranes depended on the layer spacing of the membrane and ion size and charge. Cations of the same valence permeating through the same GOM could be differentiated by their hydration radius, whereas the same type of cation passing through different GOMs could be determined by the spacing of the GOM layers. The cation valence strongly affected permeation behavior. The GOM that was prepared at 120 °C exhibited a narrow layer spacing and high separation factors for Mg/Ca, Mg/Sr, K/Ca, and K/Fe. The cations moving through the membrane could insert into the membrane lamellas, which neutralized the negative charge of the membrane, enlarged the layer spacing of the GOMs, and affected cation permeation.

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 this study, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to study chitosan–graphene oxide (chitosan–GO) incorporated with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) and cadmium sulfide quantum dot (CdS QD) composite thin films for the potential optical sensing of cobalt ions (Co2+). From the XPS results, it was confirmed that carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen elements existed on the PAR–chitosan–GO thin film, while for CdS QD–chitosan–GO, the existence of carbon, oxygen, cadmium, nitrogen, and sulfur were confirmed. Further deconvolution of each element using the Gaussian–Lorentzian curve fitting program revealed the sub-peak component of each element and hence the corresponding functional group was identified. Next, investigation using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) optical sensor proved that both chitosan–GO-based thin films were able to detect Co2+ as low as 0.01 ppm for both composite thin films, while the PAR had the higher binding affinity. The interaction of the Co2+ with the thin films was characterized again using XPS to confirm the functional group involved during the reaction. The XPS results proved that primary amino in the PAR–chitosan–GO thin film contributed more important role for the reaction with Co2+, as in agreement with the SPR results.
