Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a method of sealing an anodization layer including contacting the anodization layer with a solution at a temperature greater than freezing and less than 160° F. wherein the solution comprises graphene particles and a corrosion inhibitor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method of sealing an anodization layer comprising contacting the anodization layer with a solution at a temperature greater than freezing and less than 160° F. wherein the solution comprises graphene particles and a corrosion inhibitor; wherein the corrosion inhibitor comprises a trivalent chromium compound and the solution further comprises an oxidizer; wherein the oxidizer comprises peroxide or permanganate. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the corrosion inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of trivalent chromium compounds, cerium compounds, praseodymium compounds, cesium compounds, lanthanum compounds, lithium compounds, yttrium compounds, and combinations thereof. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphene particles are functionalized. 4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the graphene particles are functionalized with an organo-functionalized alkoxysilane. 5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the temperature is 60 to 160° F. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the temperature is 60 to 90° F. 7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the solution further comprises an oxidizer. 8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the solution has a pH of 3 to 5. 9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising contacting the anodization layer with an oxidizer after contact with the solution.
