Abstract
AbstractWaterborne epoxy resin (EP) is often used as anticorrosive coating in the industrial field. However, small holes and gaps can be formed during the curing process. The corrosive medium easily penetrates the anticorrosive coating and corrodes the metal matrix. Herein, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and graphene oxide (GO) were doped into EP to improve the shielding and resistance to corrosive media. The composite coatings were prepared successfully by solution blending method. In the PVP/GO composite materials, original spatial structure of GO was changed and the composite was mainly combined by covalent bonding. The surface morphology of hybrid filler was flat and uniform, and the structural defects of GO was reduced. Compared with single‐layer anticorrosive coating, the corrosion potential of PVP/GO/EP coating moved forward and the corrosion current density decreased. The ideal corrosion resistance of PVP/GO/EP composite coatings was mainly because agglomeration of GO sheet was obviously avoided after it was modified by PVP. Furthermore, the hybrid filler can be uniformly dispersed in the aqueous EP. It blocked the gaps and holes inside the coatings, which could contribute to form anticorrosive coatings.
