Abstract
- Nano-polydopamine-graphene oxide-TiO<subscript>2</subscript> (nano-PDA@GO-TiO<subscript>2</subscript>) composites were prepared by dopamine modified graphene oxide (GO) and loaded nano-TiO<subscript>2</subscript> on the surface of GO. The structure and morphology of nano-PDA@GO-TiO<subscript>2</subscript> composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Transmission electron microscope (TEM) Results demonstrate that the introduction of dopamine to functionalize the GO could self-polymerize polydopamine (PDA) on the surfaces of the GO and endow abundant chemical groups reduce the GO. The interaction between the GO and nano-TiO<subscript>2</subscript> particles could prevent graphene nanosheets from restacking and nano-TiO<subscript>2</subscript> particles from agglomeration. Nano-PDA@GO-TiO<subscript>2</subscript> composite material was used as the nano-filler, and nano-PDA@GO-TiO<subscript>2</subscript> composites waterborne epoxy resin coatings (PGT/WEP) were prepared by dispersing a different content of nano-PDA@GO-TiO<subscript>2</subscript> composites into waterborne epoxy resin with the help of ultrasonic dispersion and mechanical agitation. The physical properties of PGT/WEP coatings, such as hardness, impact resistance, and adhesion, were tested and the electrochemical performance was evaluated. The results show that dispersing 2% nano-PDA@GO-TiO<subscript>2</subscript> composites in waterborne epoxy resin could significantly improve the physical properties and corrosion resistance of waterborne epoxy resin coating when compared with pure waterborne epoxy coating.
