“…The relatively lower rate of conversion may be due to the UV-light shielding effect of graphene: a lower amount of reactive species is photogenerated resulting in a decrease of the epoxy group conversion. These data are in accordance with previous investigations [15,16].…”

New photocatalytic materials prepared by dispersing graphene oxide (GO x ) into UV-curable epoxy resin can be classified as semiconductors and thanks to this behavior it can be used in order to activate photoxidative process in a similar way as it happens with the well-known TiO 2 . The activity of these new photocatalytic materials was evaluated in aqueous phase; photoactivity was determined by following the photodegradation of phenol during irradiation in the presence of epoxy crosslinked films containing GO x .

“…This behavior was previously observed [42] in epoxy resin photo-cured in the presence of FGS and attributed to the constraint effect of graphene sheets on the polymer chain mobility. These results suggest a uniform and homogeneous distribution of the rGO platelets within the polymeric network.…”

In the present study, in-situ UV reduction of graphene oxide (GO) during Photopolymerization of the epoxy-novolac nanocomposite and its effect on the thermal properties of nanocomposite were investigated at different loading level of GO. Chemical structure and structural distortion of GO before and after UV irradiation have been characterized using infrared and Raman spectroscopy as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Obtained results showed that GO has been reduced to graphene (Gr) in effect of UV irradiation. TEM and SEM observations indicated well dispersion of GO sheets within the cured epoxy resin matrix.

“…Chiang and Hsu [97] have improved the fire resistance of epoxy/GP nanocomposite following a similar method. Martin-Gallego et al [98] studied the effect of functionalized graphene sheets (FGS)/epoxy coatings which are prepared using cationic photopolymerization on mechanical properties of coating. Their results indicate increased stiffness and T g values of the cured epoxy network with better storage modulus properties in higher temperature.…”

Abstract:Corrosion is a deterioration of a metal due to reaction with environment. The use of corrosion inhibitors is one of the most effective ways of protecting metal surfaces against corrosion. Their effectiveness is related to the chemical composition, their molecular structures and affinities for adsorption on the metal surface. This review focuses on the potential of ionic liquid, polyionic liquid (PIL) and graphene as promising corrosion inhibitors in emerging coatings due to their remarkable properties and various embedment or fabrication strategies. The review begins with a precise description of the synthesis, characterization and structure-property-performance relationship of such inhibitors for anti-corrosion coatings. It establishes a platform for the formation of new generation of PIL based coatings and shows that PIL corrosion inhibitors with various heteroatoms in different form can be employed for corrosion protection with higher barrier properties and protection of metal surface. However, such study is still in its infancy and there is significant scope to further develop new structures of PIL based corrosion inhibitors and coatings and study their behaviour in protection of metals. Besides, it is identified that the combination of ionic liquid, PIL and graphene could possibly contribute to the development of the ultimate corrosion inhibitor based coating.
