Abstract: Two-dimensional nanomaterials are the best choice for anticorrosive coatings because of their lamellar structure, dense hexagonal lattice, large specific surface area and excellent thermochemical stability. In this paper, the applications of two-dimensional nanomaterials in corrosion protection composite coatings are reviewed. The barrier protection, inhibition protection and sacrifice protection of two-dimensional nanomaterials in epoxy resin anticorrosive coatings are introduced firstly, and then the application ways and methods of common two-dimensional nanomaterials in epoxy resin anticorrosive coatings are expounded. In addition, the problems of dispersion, orientation and adhesion to metal substrate in the application of two-dimensional nanomaterials in anticorrosive coatings and their solutions are also summarized. Finally, the application of two-dimensional nanomaterials in epoxy anticorrosive coatings is summarized and prospected.
