How Does Nanotechnology Improve Corrosion Resistance?
Marine environments are highly corrosive due to saltwater and atmospheric conditions. Nanocoatings can significantly enhance the corrosion resistance of marine structures and vessels. For instance, graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, is known for its exceptional barrier properties. When integrated into coatings, graphene can protect against moisture and oxygen penetration, thereby reducing corrosion.
