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，用于暴露在石墨烯浓度随层变化的腐蚀环境中的结构，以消除电偶腐蚀，同时保持石墨烯夹杂的所有独特优势，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的设计、防腐实验数据、开发可靠的模拟技术和拟议涂层的设计程序。这应该会为澳大利亚的土木、海洋和海洋工程行业和国民经济带来巨大的好处。

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.
