| Abstract
|
:
|
The phenomenon of corrosion has been the subject of research for years driven by the demand from industries that utilize steel structures. The impact of corrosion-related economic losses is exacerbated in oil & gas industries that process ever increasing acidic streams of hydrocarbons. The extraction and processing of hydrocarbon resources associated with acidic gases (H<sub> 2</sub>S, SO<sub>2</sub> & CO<sub>2</sub>) is a common problem in Gulf countries owing to the heavy dependence on oil & gas generated revenue. It has been estimated that the annual cost of corrosion in the UAE was the second highest among the GCC countries [1, 2]. Research has recently shifted towards nanomaterials to augment the anticorrosion capacity of organic coatings. Graphene, a one atom thick honeycomb structure of sp<sup>2</sup> hybridized carbons possesses unique characteristics. The properties of graphene make it an excellent candidate for the development of environmentally benign anticorrosion coatings with extended service lifetimes.
