Abstract

Waterborne epoxy resin (WEP) coatings are widely used in various fields due to their environmentally friendly properties, yet their corrosion resistance and shielding properties demand further refinement. In this work, melamine-modified graphene oxide (MGO) was synthesized using surface covalent functionalization, and a novel waterborne epoxy/modified graphene oxide coating (WEP/MGO) was prepared. The optimal modification effect was obtained by exploring different proportions of melamine, which led to significant improvements in the corrosion resistance of WEP. Furthermore, the corrosion protection efficiency of WEP/MGO coatings was systematically evaluated by examining the impact of different additions of MGO. The impedance modulus at the lowest frequency was increased from 3.77 × 108 Ω·cm2 of WEP to 2.85 × 109 Ω·cm2 after immersion in 3.5% NaCl for 48 h, when the addition of MGO was 0.1 wt.%. And the corrosion expansion at both the scratch and corrosion spot frequencies of the WEP-coated samples displayed a remarkable attenuation following exposure to salt spray for 300 h. The corrosion resistance and barrier properties of WEP coatings have been considerably enhanced.
