Abstract
A multifunctional epoxy resin (EP) coating reinforced with nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) anchored on Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets (CDs@Ti3C2Tx) was developed to address the rapid oxidation and limited functionality of conventional MXene. The hybrid filler, synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal process, imparted oxidation resistance, anticorrosion, lubricity, and enhanced barrier properties. As a result, the as-prepared CDs@Ti3C2Tx/EP coating could exhibit an outstanding long-term corrosion resistance, maintaining a low-frequency impedance of 1.38 × 1011 Ω·cm2 after 70 days in 3.5 wt% NaCl, along with excellent tribological performance, achieving a friction coefficient of 0.234 and ultralow wear rate (4.87 ×10−4 mm3/Nm). This strategy offers a promising route for durable protection of marine infrastructure.
期刊介绍:
Tribology is the science of rubbing surfaces and contributes to every facet of our everyday life, from live cell friction to engine lubrication and seismology. As such tribology is truly multidisciplinary and this extraordinary breadth of scientific interest is reflected in the scope of Tribology International.
Tribology International seeks to publish original research papers of the highest scientific quality to provide an archival resource for scientists from all backgrounds. Written contributions are invited reporting experimental and modelling studies both in established areas of tribology and emerging fields. Scientific topics include the physics or chemistry of tribo-surfaces, bio-tribology, surface engineering and materials, contact mechanics, nano-tribology, lubricants and hydrodynamic lubrication.
