Corrosion of structural metals is a universal problem that causes economic and environmental damage every year due to the gradual failure of conventional protective coatings over time. In the past, graphene has emerged as a promising anticorrosive material owing to its unique properties such as chemical inertness, impermeability, and high conductivity, although scalability is still a big issue. This chapter outlines the utility and recent advances in graphene and graphene-derived materials containing polymer-based anticorrosive coatings. Additionally, an overview of pure graphene corrosion protective coating is also given. The potential applications of various polymer-graphene composites in the field of metal corrosion protection and their viability and challenges in near-future applications are also discussed.
