By incorporating varying mass fractions (0.05\u20130.25%) of CGO into the resin matrix via mechanical blending, the microstructure, corrosion resistance, and long-term corrosion kinetics of the coatings were systematically investigated. The results demonstrate that the coating with 0.15 wt.% CGO (designated as KCG15) exhibited optimal comprehensive performance: its corrosion current density (Icorr = 4.37 \u00d7 10\u22128 A\/cm2) was two orders of magnitude lower than that of the pure resin coating, while its low-frequency impedance modulus (\u2223Z\u22230.1Hz = 4.99 \u00d7 106 \u03a9\u22c5cm2) is significantly enhanced, accompanied by improved surface compactness. The coating achieved a 97% inhibition rate against sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) through synergistic physical disruption and electrostatic repulsion mechanisms. Long-term corrosion kinetics analysis via 60-day seawater immersion identified three degradation phases\u2014permeation (0\u20131 day), blockage (1\u20134 days), and failure (7\u201360 days)\u2014with structural evolution from microcrack networks to foam-like blistering ultimately reducing by 97.8%. Furthermore, a 180-day atmospheric exposure test confirms the superior weatherability and adhesion of the KCG15 coating, with only minor discoloration observed due to its hydrophobic surface. This work provides theoretical and technical foundations for developing marine anti-corrosion coatings that synergize environmental sustainability with long-term protective performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma18092122","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,5]],"date-time":"2025-05-05T21:42:09Z","timestamp":1746481329000},"page":"2122","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Preparation and Properties of Environmentally Friendly Carboxyl Graphene Oxide\/Silicone Coatings"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6016-8348","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhenhua","family":"Chu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai 201306, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiahao","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai 201306, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wan","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai 201306, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuchen","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai 201306, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Quantong","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CAS Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Corrosion and Bio-Fouling, Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao 266404, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1484-9692","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jingxiang","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai 201306, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"690","DOI":"10.1038\/s41467-018-03158-3","article-title":"Ocean science research is key for a sustainable future","volume":"9","author":"Visbeck","year":"2018","journal-title":"Nat.
