University of Naples Federico II, Dept. of Chemical Engineering, Materials and Industrial Production, Naples, Italy In recent years graphene has attracted growing attention in both academic and industrial field owing to its exceptional thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties. In particular, the use of graphene as filler in the preparation of inorganic/polymer nanocomposites has involved increasing interest because show superior mechanical, thermal, gas barrier and electrical properties compared to the neat polymer. In addition, graphene is an ideal candidate to enhance anti-corrosion properties of the resin, since it absorbs most of the light and provides hydrophobicity for repelling water. The most important aspect of these nanocomposites is that all these improvements can be realized even at very low filler loadings in the polymer matrix. In this work, graphene nanoflakes were achieved by graphite exfoliation in various organic solutions and then, in different weight percentages, were incorporated into a water-soluble epoxy resin. Finally, the coating incorporating the nanoadditives was applied on a metal sample. The identification of graphene nanoflakes was performed by Raman Spectroscopy SEM and XRD analysis. While, the concentration was carried out by UV-vis analysis. DSC and static contact angle measurements were performed to investigate the thermal and surface properties of the graphene-filled resin, respectively. The corrosion resistance of metal sample coating with graphene-filled resin was examined by Potentiodynamic Polarization test and by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS).
