Structural and microstructural characterization combined with vibrational, rotational modes are quite important to determinate reduction degree during synthesis of reduced graphene oxide. These data and analysis support the research article "Electrochemical alternative to obtain reduced graphene oxide by pulse potential: effect of synthesis parameters and study of corrosion properties" (López-Oyama et al., 2018).

Hybrid coatings were synthesized from an aliphatic WPU⁻HDI (1,6-hexamethylene di-isocyanate) and cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO₂) with an average particle size distribution of about 25 nm. Different nanoceria amounts (1, 3 and 5 wt %), mixing times (30, 60 and 120 min) and methods to disperse the nanostructures into the polymer matrix (magnetic stirring and sonication) were evaluated.
