Popis: The amphiphilic graphene derivative was prepared by covalent grafting of graphene oxide (GO) with isophorone diisocyanate and N,N-dimethylethanolamine and then noncovalent grafting of GO with sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate. The results obtained from infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the short chains were successfully grafted onto the surface of GO. Subsequently, scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy results showed that the modified GO (IP-GO) has the best dispersibility and compatibility than GO and reduced GO in the waterborne polyurethane matrix. The relationship between the corrosion resistance of composite coatings and the dispersibility of the graphene derivative and the compatibility of the graphene derivative with a polymer matrix were discussed. The anticorrosive properties were characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis and salt spray tests. Through a series of anticorrosion tests, it is concluded that the anticorrosion performance of a composite coating with 0.3 wt % IP-GO is significantly improved. The excellent anticorrosion performance is due to the perfect dispersion and good compatibility of IP-GO in waterborne polyurethane.
