Abstract
coatings and corresponding corrosion products immersed in a 3.5% NaCl solution for 30 days were also characterized, which could further reveal anticorrosion mechanisms of the graphene modified WEP coatings and the passivated effect of ZnO. Through the mechanism analysis, we also found that ZnO could be employed as the barrier reinforcement to improve the dispersibility of graphene in WEP coatings, and the parallel assembly of graphene occurs spontaneously, leading to remarkable improvement of anticorrosion properties.
