Preparation and Characterization of Graphene Oxide/Polyaniline/Carbonyl Iron Nanocomposites

Abstract

Nano coatings for anti-corrosion and electromagnetic wave absorbing can simultaneously implement the functions of assimilating electromagnetic waves and reducing the corrosion of materials caused by corrosive environments, such as seawater. In this work, a composite material for both electromagnetic wave absorption and anti-corrosion was prepared by an in-situ chemical oxidation and surface coating method using carbonyl iron powder (CIP), graphene oxide (GO) and aniline (AN). The synthesized composite material was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and XRD. The carbonyl iron powder-graphene oxide-polyaniline (CIP-GO-PANI) composite material was used as the functional filler, and the epoxy resin was the matrix body for preparing the anticorrosive wave-absorbing coating. The results show that CIP had strong wave-absorbing properties, and the anti-corrosion property was greatly enhanced after being coated by GO-PANI.
