This work presents a new method to prepare poly(sodium acrylate) magnetite composite nanoparticles. Core/shell type magnetite nanocomposites were synthesized using sodium acrylate as monomer and N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as crosslinker. Microemulsion polymerization was used for constructing core/shell structures with magnetite nanoparticles as core and poly(sodium acrylate) as shell. Fou...

Sol–gel films were prepared using different ratios of two silica precursors, vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), targeting the anticorrosion treatment of aluminum alloy 2024-T3. The electrochemical behavior of the alloy coated with such films, which was studied in a 0.05 mol L -1 NaCl solution, revealed that the VTMS/TEOS ratio drastically affects the anticorrosion ...

nanostructured alumina thin films were coated on stainless steel by sol-gel dip coating method. in order to prevent crack formation, al2o3 films were kept in a solvent bath immediately after coating to reduce the rate of drying. effects of calcination temperature and withdrawal speed on structural properties were analyzed using xrd and sem. topography and thickness of coatings were analyzed by ...

in this study, the corrosion resistance of a bituminous coating reinforced with different ratios ofnanoclay pigment was studied. to make nanocomposite coatings, 2, 3, and 4 wt.% of clay (cloisitena+) were incorporated into water emulsified bitumen. the coatings were applied to steel 37. opticalmicroscopy and x-ray diffraction (xrd) were used to characterize the nanocomposite structure. inorder ...

The applications of molecular surface chemistry in heterogeneous catalyst technology, semiconductor-based technology, medical technology, anticorrosion and lubricant technology, and nanotechnology are highlighted in this perspective. The evolution of surface chemistry at the molecular level is reviewed, and the key roles of surface instrumentation developments for in situ studies of the gas-sol...

The effect of a partial replacement spherical zinc particles by stainless steel flakes (SSF) on the corrosion protection performance zinc-rich epoxy (ZRE) coating was studied. Salt spray test, open circuit potential, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization tests were utilized to evaluate anticorrosion coatings. results demonstrate that SSF enhanced properties ZRE...

the corrosion protection of mild steel by a newly developed epoxy-based coating system containing inherently conducting nanopolyaniline-clay as a nanoadditive has been studied. polyaniline-clay anticorrosion nanoadditive (pcna) was obtained by the direct mixing method of nanopolyaniline (0.03 wt.%) and organo-modified clay (3 wt.%) at atmospheric pressure, and xrd technique was used to study d-...
