Abstract

Aircraft structural materials corrosion will not only affect flight safety and need great maintenance work, but also cost much money and shorten the service period. A durable aircraft structural corrosion inhibiting compounds (CIC) coating was prepared by introducing dodecyl modified graphene oxide (GO-DDA). The lightweight GO-DDA lamellar can be uniformly dispersed in the CIC-35 matrix, which has consequently led to satisfying corrosion resistance (E: 0.072V, I: 1.18×10-7 A/cm2, and Rp: 6.87×106 Ω·cm2). At a filler content of 2.0 wt.%, the composite coating could maintain a high PE value even after a 30-day of accelerated UV-condensation aging. Given the facility in preparation as well as the superior corrosion resistance, this work will shed light on the further fabrication of composites coatings toward lightweight, high anti-corrosion performance and long-term effectiveness to meet the high requirement in practical applications such as aviation and shipping fields.
