Polyimide networks are key in the development of stable, resilient, and efficient membranes for separation applications under demanding conditions. To this aim, controlled design network’s nanostructure its properties needed. However, such control remains a challenge with currently available synthesis methods. Here, we present simple nanofabrication approach that allows nanoconfinement, growth,...

Geothermal energy is accredited as a flexible, controllable and green source of energy. Heat exchangers (HXs) are one the most critical components geothermal power plant due to corrosion scaling phenomena. Hence, improvements in antiscaling anticorrosion properties well heat transfer performance HX materials will lead smaller, more efficient less costly systems. EU H2020 GeoHex project relies o...

Polyurethanes (PUs) have been extensively exploited for the production of protective coatings thanks to versatility their chemistry, which allows adjust coating properties depending on final application. In last decade, concerns negative impact environment and human health traditional petroleum-based solvent-borne PUs fostered research more environmentally friendly alternatives. This review art...

In this work, different cationic surfactants with various aliphatic and aromatic ammonium cations were used to prepare inhibitor coatings characterized by techniques such as IR spectroscopy NMR. The prepared electrografting on the steel surface their anticorrosion properties evaluated in media (HCl, H2SO4 NaCl solutions). electrochemical potentiodynamic polarization technique was study inhibiti...

By using the developed finite-element models, we perform numerical investigation of nonstationary temperature fields and kinetics microstructural phase transformations in base material WWER -1000 reactor vessel (15Kh2NMFА steel) under conditions submerged-arc cladding protective anticorrosion layers austenitic materials. We comparative analysis results simulation obtained by two methods predict...

Efforts to widen the scope of ionic liquids applications across diverse research areas have flourished in last two decades with developments understanding and tailoring their physical, chemical, biological properties. The promising liquids-based materials as antimicrobial systems is due ability flexibility be tailored varying sizes, morphologies, surface charges. Ionic are also considered green...
