Abstract:The deterioration of steel rebar in reinforced concrete is a major issue that reduces RC structures’ durability and structural integrity. Significant efforts have been devoted to developing high-performance coatings to provide efficient protection of the rebar, and one promising approach is to utilize nanofiller as additives to improve the performance of polymer resins. This study aimed to improve the corrosion resistance of steel rebar by applying an epoxy coating with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and silica… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
