Environmentally sustainable epoxy nanocomposite coating reinforced with chitosan derived nitrogen doped graphene for enhanced corrosion resistance and mechanical performance.

ABSTRACT: The current study evaluates the anticorrosive performance of Epoxy coating augmented with a distinctive, environmentally safe, nitrogen-doped graphene. A simple, green, and single-step cost-effective route for synthesis graphene nanosheets doped with nitrogen (Gr) has been developed using direct-solvothermal treatment of chitosan, under gentle conditions. XRD, FTIR, SEM, XPS and Raman spectroscopy were employed to characterize the microstructure characteristics of N-doped graphene. Well separated flatten morphology with folding characteristics and extremely extended considerable average lateral dimensions further than 1.27 mm was detected. Graphene was successfully integrated into epoxy coatings on carbon steel substrates with different tiny graphene concentrations < 0.04 wt%. The coatings
