Robust alkyd/exfoliated graphene oxide nanocomposite as a surface coating

An improved strategy to synthesize graphite oxide with controllable interlayer spacing as coatings for anticorrosion application

“…Obviously, morphologies of three GO exhibited similar characteristic, which possessed a typical flake structure with the presence of highly crumpled regions on the sheets, 44 in accordance with the results obtained by SEM. Moreover, relatively high transparency can be obverted due to tiny thickness 28,45 . However, the selected area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern of IGO‐1 clearly exhibited the typical diffraction spots and symmetry concentric rings (inset shows in Figure 6(d)), implying the fine crystalline structure, which was consistent with a hexagonal lattice based on the same crystal plane spacing according to the previous report 46 .…”

Recent advances in chemical recycling of polyethylene terephthalate waste into value added products for sustainable coating solutions – hopevs. hype

“…[100][101][102][103] In addition to that, the excellent compatibility with a broad range of polymers make alkyds resins are superior to other coating systems in several areas of applications with special demands such as corrosion prevention and hydrophobic antifouling coating. [104][105][106] In this regard, PET based recycled polyol can serve as a one of the prime component for preparation of alkyd resins. There are several studies where researchers worked with recycled PET derived polyols for synthesis of alkyd resins for coatings application.…”

Superhydrophobic Self-cleaning Surfaces in Nature

“…Non-toxic FR nanocomposite is a new trend toward robust eco-friendly self-cleaning coatings for vessel bottoms and the shipping industry. For maritime navigation, superhydrophobic surfaces can introduce antibacterial and anti-biofouling materials [73,74] . However, the drawback of weak mechanical features is a major challenge nowadays for superhydrophobic and self-cleaning antifouling surfaces [75] .…”
