Abstract
Heptadecafluorodecyl trimethoxysilane (FAS-17) was incorporated into γ-(2,3-epoxypropoxy) propyltrimethoxysilane/graphene (GPTMS/rGO) by adding pre-hydrolyzed FAS-17 solution in GPTMS solution, and a hybrid silane-graphene film (FG/rGO) was prepared on 2024 aluminum alloy surface. The FG/rGO film showed better thermal shock resistance, good adhesion force and high micro-hardness, compared with GPTMS/rGO film. In neutral 3.5â¯wt% NaCl solution, the corrosion current density for 2024 AA sample with FG/rGO film was 3.40â¯Ãâ¯10â3â¯Î¼A/cm2, which is about one fifth of that for the sample with GPTMS/rGO film. In acidic and alkaline NaCl solutions, the FG/rGO film also showed obviously better corrosion resistance than GPTMS/rGO film. EIS results confirm that the FG/rGO film showed longer performance than GPTMS/rGO film for 2024 AA in NaCl solution. The hydrophobic FAS-17 increased water contact angle of the film surface from 68° to 113°, and changed the stacking structure of graphene in the film. The higher crosslink degree and less interfaces promoted the barrier property of FG/rGO film against aggressive ions and prolonged the performance time in NaCl solution.
