Two-Dimensional Nanomaterials for Anticorrosive Polymeric Coatings: A Review

Abstract

To solve the coating’s defects and achieve the goal of lightweight heavy-duty anticorrosive coatings, various two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are introduced to polymeric coatings to prepare long-term high-performance anticorrosive coatings. In this review, we concluded overall design ideas of the composite corrosion-resistant polymer coatings for a wide range of 2D nanomaterials and typically reviewed the development of graphene, boron nitride (BN), molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), zirconium phosphate (ZrP), MXene (Ti3C2T x ), and binary hybrid nanosheets (0D/2D, 1D/2D, 2D/2D, 3D/2D) in polymeric anticorrosive coatings. Finally, based on the above discussion, the challenges and outlooks in this promising field are featured from the perspective of chemical engineering.

Recent advancements in corrosion inhibitor systems through carbon allotropes: Past, present, and future

“…[21][22][23] Literature study shows that polymeric compounds are extensively used as corrosion inhibitors for different metals and alloys in various electrolytes. [24,25] As compared to the traditional heterocyclic corrosion inhibitors, polymeric compounds exhibit relatively more inhibition efficiency at lower concentration. Obviously, this attributed due to their high surface area.…”

Eco-friendly functionalization of hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets with carbon dots towards reinforcement of the protective performance of water-borne epoxy coatings

“…Two-dimensional laminar nanomaterials, such as graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), are widely introduced into organic coatings towards better corrosion protection for metal substrates. 1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] In particular, graphene has been the subject of a large number of studies in the anticorrosive field owing to its outstanding physical and chemical properties. 3,5,6,11 But, up to now, one of the biggest controversies restraining its application in the anticorrosive field is that the high conductivity of graphene will accelerate the metal corrosion during long-term conductivity.…”

Epoxy-matrix polyaniline/p-phenylenediamine-functionalised graphene oxide coatings with dual anti-corrosion and anti-fouling performance

“…8,12 In this decade, scientists have attempted to design unusual environmentallyfriendly coatings that are benecial to the environment. 6,7,12,13 Graphene is a relatively newly discovered material that has fantastic properties for scientic and technological goals and applications. Graphene is composed of a honeycomb structure of carbon atoms, where each carbon atom is at 120 angles with other neighboring carbon atoms.…”
