New electrospun polystyrene/Al2O3 nanocomposite superhydrophobic coatings; Synthesis, characterization, and application
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
The effect of electrospinning operational parameters on the morphology, surface roughness, and wettability of different compositions of electrospun polystyrene (PS)-aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanocomposite coatings was ...
Erosion behavior of API X120 steel: Effect of particle speed and impact angle
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
The dry erosion behavior of API-X120 pipeline steel was investigated, under the erosive interaction of aluminum oxide particulates, in a range of speed (43-167 m·s-1) and impact angle (30°-90°). Erosion behavior is ...
Indentation and bending behavior of electroless Ni-P-Ti composite coatings on pipeline steel
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Electroless Ni-P coatings have been adopted in many industrial applications due to their excellent wear and corrosion resistance. The unique properties and autocatalytic nature suggest a potential usage as a pipeline inner ...
The missing piece of the puzzle regarding the relation between the degree of superhydrophobicity and the corrosion resistance of superhydrophobic coatings
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
This work supplies the missing piece of the puzzle regarding the unclear relation between the water contact angle (WCA) of a superhydrophobic coating (SHC) and its corrosion protection performance. Generally, an increase ...
Synthesis and characterisation of Ni–B/Ni–P–CeO2 duplex composite coatings
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2018 , Article)
Abstract: Binary (Ni–B, Ni–P) and duplex coatings (Ni–B/Ni–P, Ni–B/Ni–P–CeO2) with an inner Ni–B layer were electrodeposited on mild steel substrates. A comparison of the structural, surface, mechanical, and electrochemical ...
Enhanced photocatalytic performance of WON@porous TiO2 nanofibers towards sunlight-assisted degradation of organic contaminants
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2018 , Article)
In the last few decades, TiO2 has been widely used in different types of photocatalytic applications. However, the relatively large optical band gap (∼3.2 eV), low charge carrier mobility and consequently its low quantum ...
Toward an accurate spectrophotometric evaluation of the efficiencies of photocatalysts in processes involving their separation using nylon membranes
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Many works include the use of nylon membranes to separate the solid particles of photocatalysts from the photocatalytic reactors, before using spectrophotometers to evaluate the catalysts� performance in the photocatalytic ...
Properties enhancement of Ni-P electrodeposited coatings by the incorporation of nanoscale Y 2 O 3 particles
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
In this study the influence of nanoscale Y 2 O 3 particles on structural, morphological, mechanical and the elemental composition of Ni-P coatings have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), microhardness, ...
