▎ 摘　　要

The present study focuses on improving the adhesion bonding strength between an amido-amine cured epoxy coating and steel substrate and decreasing the cathodic delamination rate via a new surface pretreatment method through decoration of steel/epoxy interface by graphene oxide (fGO) nanosheets co-valently functionalized with 3-(Triethoxysilyl) propylisocyanate. The effect of fGO film on the organic coating behavior was determined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Pull-off adhesion, water contact angle, cathodic delamination and salt spray tests. It was found that steel surface pre-treatment by fGO coatings could remarkably improve the adhesion strength and corrosion prortection properties and reduce cathodic delamination rate.
