Abstract

Despite technological progress, the corrosion phenomenon has caused many problems and dangers, which are possible to control and decrease by coating metal surfaces and reducing their contact with the environment. The article presents the results of a research, where graphene is used as a key matter due to its unique characteristics: mechanical, electrical, anti-bacterial, flexibility and high resistance to chemicals. Polyester is also used for its good elastic properties, high strength, and water repellency. In the course of the study nonwoven polyester was coated with resin and graphene powder of different percentage and different thickness. Then, the iron was coated with the prepared composite, and finally, the prepared samples were examined for corrosion, fabric strength, anti-bacterial properties and fabric resistance against water penetration. The results show that the effective coating greatly improves the sample parameters. According to analysis of the tests results, the presence of resin with graphene improves properties of polyester. The composite tested is recommended to use as an antibacterial coating material against corrosion for industrial needs.
