Abstract:	In this study, we report UV‐ and thermo‐curable epoxyacrylate/graphene oxide (EA/GO) nanocomposites that present good transparency, excellent pencil hardness and promising improvement in corrosion protection. A dual‐curable EA oligomer with one terminal epoxide and one double bond at the other end was synthesized by reaction of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol‐A and acrylic acid. After mixing EA and GO with the curing agents and reactive diluent followed by UV cure and thermo‐cure, the resulting EA/GO films on a glass slide with GO loading up to 3 phr exhibited over 86% light transmittance. Furthermore, the pencil hardness was enhanced from 3H for EA to 6H for the EA/GO composite at 2 phr GO loading. The corrosion protection of the EA/GO coatings was evaluated by a potentiodynamic polarization technique and electrochemical impedance spectra. The corrosion potential (Ecorr) of the EA/GO‐coated steel increased with increasing GO loading. Meanwhile, Nyquist and Bode plots indicated that the higher the GO content in the EA/GO coating was, the higher was the coating resistance and also the charge transfer resistance after immersion in salt solution. All these results proved that the GO had positive effects on enhancement of the corrosion resistance. The improved corrosion protection by the EA/GO coatings was mainly due to the enhanced hydrophobicity, the deviation of electron transfer and the increased tortuosity of the diffusion path. The improved corrosion protection and hardness together with the useful dual‐curability make the EA/GO nanocomposite a competitive candidate for corrosion protection coatings. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry
