Hybrid Sol–Gel Silica Coatings Containing Graphene Nanosheets for Improving the Corrosion Protection of AA2024-T3

In the present work, nanostructured graphene nanosheets were added to hybrid silica sols and deposited on aluminium alloy A2024-T3 to study the effect on the corrosion behaviour. Sols were prepared using tetraethyl-orthosilicate (TEOS), 3-glycidoxypropyl-trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and a colloidal sili...
