  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
TMS 2022 151st Annual Meeting & Exhibition Supplemental Proceedings

Part of the book series: The Minerals, Metals & Materials Series ((MMMS))

Abstract

Graphene oxide has attracted so much attention over the last few years owing to its astonishing features and has proven to have a major contribution to the anticorrosive coating industry. A great deal of this attention is motivated by the necessity to realize additional functionalities, to boost the anti-corrosion performance of the graphene oxides, and to eventually lengthen the service life of metallic structures. This review covers the properties, fabrication techniques, corrosion protective performance, realistic problems, and modification of graphene corrosion protective films.
