| Abstract Scope |
The effects of minor graphene additions to high-temperature thermoplastic coatings has been investigated to establish if of any practical benefits to both abrasion resistance, friction, and general inorganic scale deposition. Using a variety of controlled tests, coating hardness, friction coefficients under varying contact stresses, anti-galling, anti-scaling behaviors with carbonate and barium sulfates, and CO2 corrosion resistance were all measured and discussed. The investigation demonstrates that graphene additions ( in the proper range and with the selected thermoplastic) can substantially harden the thermoplastic coating without detrimental consequences on the other properties. Scale nucleation and growth is also briefly discussed in relation to the presence of graphene. |
