Professor Juiming Yeh finished his bachelor and master degree at chemistry department of Fu-Jen Cathodic University, Taiwan, in 1988 and 1990, respectively. In 1992, he went to Drexel University of USA to pursuit his Ph.D. degree in the field of polymer chemistry. His PhD dissertation was concentrated on the studies of conducting polymers, sol-gel materials and organic-inorganic hybrid materials. In 1998, Professor Yeh entered into the chemistry department of Chung Yuan Christian University (CYCU) as an assistant professor. He concentrated his research interests on the preparation of polymer nanocomposite materials through effectively dispersion of different morphological nano-fillers (e.g., nanolayered clay, silica nanoparticles, carbon nanotube and graphene nanosheets) into various polymeric matrices and developed novel applications, especially in anticorrosion coatings. Up to now, his research career (since 1994) has generated ~ 180 SCI-related publications and several US Patents. Recently, he focuses his research topics on the preparation of graphene-based nanocomposites applied in corrosion protection, biosensing, supercapacitor and bioscaffold, etc..

Abstract
In this paper, a series of electroactive epoxy/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite (EGC) coatings were prepared and first applied in the corrosion protection application. First of all, the amine-capped aniline trimer (ACAT) was synthesized by oxidative coupling reaction of aniline with 4,4’-diaminodiphenylamine. Subsequently, the electroactive EGC coatings can be obtained by thermal ring-opening polymerization of DGEBA with ACAT/T-403 in the presence of rGO at specific heating program. The characterization of rGO, EGC can be performed by FTIR, SEM and XRD. The dispersion capability of rGO platelets existing in electroactive epoxy matrix was identify by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The electroactivity of as-prepared epoxy composite coatings were investigated by electrochemical cyclic voltammetric studies.
Enhancement of Corrosion protection of electroactive epoxy coating (EC) by incorporation of rGO platelets was investigated by performing a series of electrochemical corrosion measurements in saline condition. It should be noted that the incorporation of rGO might into EC was found to effectively promote the corrosion performance of EC, which might be associated with the enhancement of gas barrier and electro-catalytic properties of electroactive EC resulted from the incorporation of rGO platelets.
