Polydimethylsiloxane-graphene oxide nanocomposite coatings with improved anti-corrosion and anti-biofouling properties.

We demonstrate enhanced anti-corrosion and anti-biofouling properties of graphene oxide-silica-polydimethylsiloxane (GSP) coating on carbon steel (CS). Electrochemical analyses of GSP-coated carbon steel exposed to Gram-positive Bacillus sp., Gram-negative Pseudomonas sp.
