Teneraic acid (piperidine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid) is a naturally occurring imino acid that comprises three stereoisomers due to its two asymmetric centers at C2 and C6. The configuration of natural teneraic acid is reported to correspond to trans-(2S,6S). However, a few studies are focused on the stereospecific synthesis of trans-(2S,6S)-teneraic acid. The present study investigates a convenient...

This paper reports the formation of self-organized nanoporous gallium oxide by anodization of solid gallium metal. Because of its low melting point (ca. 30 °C), metallic gallium can be shaped into flexible structures, permitting the fabrication of nanoporous anodic oxide monoliths within confined spaces like the inside of a microchannel. Here, solid gallium films prepared on planar substrates w...

The effect of the presence an anodic film and hybrid sol-gel coating loaded with corrosion inhibitors was evaluated as a strategy for enhanced barrier active protection aluminium alloy 2024-T3. In this study, AA2024-T3 specimens were anodized in modified sulphuric-citric acid bath (SCA) first layer protective multilayer system subsequently protected by application silica-based coatings. These c...

In this paper, a facile method was proposed to load CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) on anodic TiO2 nanotube (NT) arrays, which leads to a formation of CeO2/TiO2 heterojunctions. Highly ordered anatase phase TiO2 NT arrays were fabricated by using anodic oxidation method, then these individual TiO2 NTs were used as tiny "nano-containers" to load a small amount of Ce(NO3)3 solutions. The loaded anodic T...

We have presented a method to prepare a uniform anodic nanoporous oxide film on the surface of a cylindrical zircaloy (Zr) tube. The distribution of the electric field around the Zr tube determines the distribution of the thickness of the anodic nanoporous oxide film. The electric field generated when a cylindrical Zr tube is electrochemically anodized was simulated by using commercial code COM...

Here, we present a systematic study about the effect of the pore length and its diameter on the specular reflection in nanoporous anodic alumina. As we demonstrate, the specular reflection can be controlled at will by structural tuning (i.e., by designing the pore geometry). This makes it possible to produce a wide range of Fabry-Pérot interferometers based on nanoporous anodic alumina, which a...

Peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) activity is associated with suberization during endodermal development and metacutization in roots of white spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss) seedlings. Histochemical analysis indicates a relationship between suberization and peroxidase activity, but peroxidase is ubiquitous. Increased peroxidase activity results from the induction of four anodic peroxidase isozymes i...

To deepening our knowledge of the behaviour of the silicon/electrolyte interface, a study of photocurrent oscillations on silicon in fluoride concentration cF=0.033 M is realized, and as a confirmation of the result the investigation is extrapolated to a variety of electrolyte compositions. The etch rates of anodic oxides in diluted fluoride solutions have been determined by using a new approac...

The inhibition performance of essential oil extracts citrus sinensis (CS) on the corrosion plain carbon steel (PCS) in 0.5 M H2SO4 and HCl solution was evaluated by weight loss measurement, potentiodynamic polarization technique, optical macroscopy ATF-FTIR spectroscopy. CS more effectively inhibited PCS compared to with optimal result 81.61% 76.95% from measurement. corresponding values are 94...

A combined X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, time-of-fight secondary ion mass spectrometry and electrochemical approach was used to investigate the mechanisms of molybdenum chromium enrichment a passive film formed on model austenitic stainless steel single crystal in aqueous acid media effect that thermal pre-oxidation at 250°C plays composition, thickness stratification film. clean FeCrNiMo (...
