h-BN decorated with Fe3O4 nanoparticles through mussel-inspired chemistry of dopamine for reinforcing anticorrosion performance of epoxy coatings

A novel hybrid materials Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles supported by hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is successfully prepared via mussel-inspired chemistry of dopamine by hydrothermal synthesis method. The surface modification and microstructure of h-BN-Fe 3 O 4 are characterized by FT-IR, XRD , XPS, SEM and TEM . The nano-Fe 3 O 4 obtain well dispersion supported by h-BN layer platform, and the h-BN-Fe 3 O 4 hybrid materials exhibit a remarkable superiority in enhancing the anticorrosion performance of epoxy coatings. The lamellar structural h-BN and nano-Fe 3 O 4 provide a significant synergistic effect in anticorrosion performance for epoxy composite coatings . In addition, the anticorrosion mechanisms of h-BN-Fe 3 O 4 are tentatively discussed.
