Graphene nanocomposite coatings has arisen topic of vast scientific interest due to the superior properties of graphene. In this study, we used electrochemically exfoliated graphene (EC-graphene) as a filler of polystyrene paints. Using solution blending method, a fine dispersion of polystyrene graphene (PS/G) paints could be attained. The anti-corrosion properties were proven by potentiodynamic polarization curves. The PS/G paints could boost the anti-corrosion properties with the loading of 0.5 wt% ECG, in which the corrosion rate decrease two degree levels from 2.37 × 10-3 to 2.32 × 10-5 mm/yr. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
