Multilayer Graphene Based Anti-Corrosion Polymer Coated Structures

本项目旨在开发一种新型的多层石墨烯/聚合物涂层，用于暴露在腐蚀环境中的结构，在石墨烯浓度随层而变化的情况下，既能消除电偶腐蚀，又能保持石墨烯包合物的所有独特优势，从而提供一种成本效益高的设计解决方案，显著提高结构的防腐性能，显著提高结构的安全性和耐久性。该项目的预期成果包括创新设计、防腐蚀实验数据、可靠模拟技术的发展以及拟议涂层的设计程序。这将为澳大利亚的土木、近海和海洋工程工业和国民经济带来巨大的利益。

This project aims to develop a novel multilayer graphene/polymer coating for structures exposed to corrosive environment with graphene concentration varying layer-wise to eliminate galvanic corrosion yet maintain all unique advantages owing to graphene inclusion, thus offering a cost-effective design solution with significantly improved anti-corrosion performance and remarkably enhanced safety and durability for structures. Expected outcomes of this project include an innovative design, experimental data on corrosion prevention, development of reliable simulation techniques and design procedures for the proposed coating. This should provide huge benefits to Australian civil, offshore and marine engineering industry and national economy.
