This study demonstrates the use of GO@CN nanohybrids to enhance the corrosion resistance of waterborne epoxy coatings. The findings suggest that adding 0.1 wt% silane functionalized GO@CN to epoxy coatings provides the highest chemical stability and corrosion resistance.
Two dimensional nanomaterials including graphene oxide (GO), graphitic carbon nitride (CN), and their nanohybrids (GO@CN) are used for enhancing the corrosion resistance of waterborne epoxy coatings. The nanomaterials functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane are loaded in the waterborne epoxy matrix by solution mixing method through probe-sonication and mechanical mixing. The corrosion resistance of the pure waterborne epoxy (PE) and the nanocomposite coatings in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution is evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and salt spray test; revealing that the epoxy coating loaded with 0.1 wt% silane functionalized GO@CN nanohybrid has the highest chemical stability and corrosion resistance, due to the welldistribution of the nanohybrid in the polymer matrix. This research exhibits the importance of developing nanocomposite coatings based on two dimensional nanohybrids to overcome the shortcomings of the nanomaterials and to simultaneously utilize from their advantages in a coating system.
