Surface-active antimicrobial and anticorrosive Oleo-Polyurethane/graphene oxide nanocomposite coatings: Synergistic effects of in-situ polymerization and π-π interaction

Inhibition of electrochemical and microbial corrosions is one of the prominent importance in both industrial and environmental applications. Therefore, we have designed a sustainable surface-active bi-functional (antimicrobial/anticorrosive) polyurethane nanocomposite (PUC) coating by means of synergistic effects of π-π interaction and in situ incorporation of graphene oxide (GO) for the first time. The PUC was synthesized using Pongamia oil,...
