The objective of this work is to use synthesized HTC-BSA/GO as container of corrosion inhibitors and study its influence on corrosion resistance and adherence property of the solvent free epoxy coatings. The BSA release from HTC-BSA/GO in sodium chloride solutions was also studied. The corrosion resistance of coatings loading HTC-BSA/GO on carbon steel was studied by salt fog test. The coating adherence was investigated by pull-off test. | Influence of graphene oxide on the corrosion inhibition effect of hydrotalcite load with 2-benzothiazolythio-succinic acid
