▎ 摘　　要

Considering the problem of corrosion and organisms fouling encountered by marine vessels during navigation. Acrylic acid modified graphene oxide (AGO)/acrylate composites were prepared through in situ radical poly-merization. The chemical composition and morphology of AGO were researched by XRD, FTIR, Raman, XPS and TEM analysis. The anticorrosion performance of AGO/acrylate composites was studied via electrochemical measurements and salt spray test. Meanwhile, the hydrolysis properties of AGO/acrylate composites in the seawater were also revealed. These results manifest that acrylic acid can be grafted on the surface of graphene oxide (GO). AGO/acrylate composites possess high corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Moreover, AGO/acrylate composites show hydrolysis properties in slightly alkaline solution. AGO/acrylate composites based paints can exhibit self-polishing antifouling performance in the natural seawater. This research will pro-vide a novel idea for the development of primer-topcoat coatings for marine vessels.
