Graphene coatings make steel corrosion-resistant - Materials Today
Australian scientists have demonstrated that graphene flakes grown directly onto stainless steel makes it resistant to corrosion, drawing the attention of the coatings industry.
Hardly a day goes by without mention of another potential application for graphene. Its unique combination of properties has seen it suggested for use in batteries, electronics, filtration systems, composites and coatings. In this latest paper, a team at Deakin University grew 3D networks of graphene nanoflakes on micron-sized fibers of stainless steel, improving both the metal’s resistance to corrosion and its electrical conductivity.
