The cationic surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) provides photocorrosion inhibition to the GaAs surface when CPC is chemisorbed on the GaAs surface from aqueous acidic electrolytes at concentrations of CPC lower than ...

Polarization resistance and potentiodynamic scan testing were performed on 316L stainless steel (SS) at room temperature in carbon nanotube (CNT)-water nanofluid. Different CNT loadings of 0.05, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 wt% were ...

Polymeric-based nanocomposite coatings were synthesized by reinforcing epoxy matrix with titanium nanotubes (TNTs) loaded with dodecylamine (DOC). The performance of the developed nanocomposite coatings was investigated ...

Ni-B coatings have gained a great deal of attraction due to their promising mechanical properties. Owing to tempting properties, Ni-B coatings have succeeded to find their applications in automotive, aerospace, petrochemical, ...

An anticorrosion coating film based on the formation of nanocomposite coating is reported in this study. The composite consisted of chitosan (green matrix), oleic acid, and graphene oxide (nano filler). The nanocomposite ...

Continuous monitoring of corrosion damage in pipelines requires sensor systems that can achieve high precision (repeatability) to detect and size subtle wall thickness (WT) losses. In fact, corrosion typically progresses ...

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, ...

This study examines the influence of thin layer coatings of CrAlTiN and CrN/NbN, deposited via physical vapor, on the biocompatibility, mechanical, tribological, and corrosion properties of stainless steel 304. The ...

Aggressive operational conditions e.g. saline media and acidic gases, e.g., CO2 can increase the corrosion rate of reinforcing steel. Accordingly, the necessity to protect the steel under the above conditions without ...

In the work presented in this manuscript, a self-organized TiO2 nanotube array film was produced by electrochemical anodization of a Ti-V alloy in an electrolyte containing NH4F/H3PO4 and then annealed at different ...
