Improving the Mechanical Properties, Roughness, Thermal Stability, and Contact Angle of the Acrylic Polymer by Graphene and Carbon Fiber Doping for Waterproof Coatings

A polymeric coating was enlarged by incorporating carbon-based nanofiller such as graphene (GR), oxide, chopped carbon fibers (CF), etc., into the polymer to be utilized for various technological applications. In this framework, acrylic composites and hybrid coatings were made casting a combination of polymer, GR, CF at room temperature. The hybrids composed different ratios (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 wt%) GR or 5 wt% CF. morphology, thermal stability, glass transition, decomposition temperature, roughness, contact angle prepared investigated. roughness fabric surface found greatly reduced weight ratio + increased. greatest determined 83.07° containing CF, whereas least recorded composite equals 1.22 ?m. addition polymers increased composites. maximum stability observed value impact strength hybris 1 Shore hardness steadily with increasing in hybrid’s polymer. presence Gr formed has resulted an improvement mechanical properties, wettability, hydrophobicity, hence might employed waterproofing coatings.
