Researchers recently developed a hybrid epoxy coating incorporating silica (SiO2) and graphene oxide (GO) to protect aluminum Al6061-T5 against corrosion in aerospace applications. The study evaluated three material variations with GO concentrations of 0%, 0.1%, and 0.5%.
Enhanced Hydrophobicity and Corrosion Resistance
Contact angle measurements demonstrated the coatings’ hydrophobic nature, with GO forming an effective anti-corrosive barrier. The 0.5% GO variant emerged as the most efficient solution, ensuring long-term protection for aluminum surfaces in harsh environments.
