Waterborne Epoxy based coatings were prepared by using a water-borne epoxy resin and a suitable hardener. The formulation and optimization procedure were carried out on the bases of experimental designs by the mixture design technique in which the important paint properties are modeled by using special cubic model. The corrosion behavior of these coatings was investigated using electrochemical ...

In the previous lecture, we leant about impedance spectroscopy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is the technique where the cell or electrode impedance is platted versus frequency. Thus, the impedance is measured as a function of the frequency of the AC source. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is a useful method for investigating porous electrodes, which are extensively used in the ...

A theoretical ac impedance model of biological tissue has been proposed after studying a cellular membrane using X-ray diffraction technique [1], a metal/organic system using ac impedance spectroscopy [2] and reviewing two pieces of literature of similar topics [3,4]. This paper emphasizes ac impedance techniques which can be used to study any heterogeneous materials in order to develop a lumpe...

silicon nanowire (sinw) arrays were produced by electroless method on polycrystalline si substrate, in hf/ agno3 solution. although the monocrystalline silicon wafer is commonly utilized as a perfect substrate, polycrystalline silicon as a low cost substrate was used in this work for photovoltaic applications. in order to study the influence of etching time (which affects the sinws length) on d...

Segregation is one of the major phenomena decreasing durability concrete and increasing its risk failure. This paper investigates feasibility AC Impedance Spectroscopy (ACIS) to serve as a monitoring technique for segregation during compaction. The impedances fresh were determined between compaction intervals. Changes in calculated bulk resistivities compared hardened densities drilled cores, w...

We investigate the effect of water adsorption on the electrical properties of graphene oxide (GO) films using the direct current (DC) measurement and alternating current (AC) complex impedance spectroscopy. GO suspension synthesized by a modified Hummer's method is deposited on Au interdigitated electrodes. The strong electrical interaction of water molecules with GO films was observed through ...
