Reinforcement of anti-corrosion behavior and outdoor resistance of PU coatings by using GO reduced by a novel green approach

For the first time, researchers from Institute for Color Science and Technology, M. Mahmudzadeh, H. Yari, B. Ramezanzadeh, M. Mahdavian, developed a novel UV-blocker/absorber through reduction of GO (rGO) sheets by green reductants based on u. dioica leaves' extract and modification by conventional organic UV absorber. The synergism effect of GO and organic UV absorber on the enhancement of the out-door resistance and anti-corrosion behavior of the polyurethane coatings was reported by these authors. This work is pioneer beyond the previous publications as it introduces rGO produced by a green approach for improvement of weathering resistance and corrosion protection of polyurethane composite coatings.  The results of this work have been published in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research, 2019, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jiec.2019.06.026

Improving protective functioning of silane coatings using polyaniline grafted carbon nanotubes

In a joint investigation, researchers from Institute for Color Science and Technology, B. Ramezanzadeh, M. Mahdavian, M. Ramezanzadeh and researchers from University of Tehran, R. Naderi and S. Akbarzadeh, successfully grafted polyaniline (PAni) on to the carbon nano tubes (CNTs). The resulting nanocomposite showed great impact on corrosion protection of silane coatings.
