The easy and scalable synthesis, biocompatibility, one-dimensionality, high aspect ratio, viability for surface modifications, the ability cargo-loading release make organic nanotubes ideal candidates smart coatings with slow controlled corrosion inhibitors anti-biofouling agents. wide-ranging applicability of as nanocarriers anti-corrosion is foreseen.

In-situ scanning Kelvin probe (SKP) measurements are used to investigate the relative contributions of in-coating zinc (II) cations and phosphate anions inhibition corrosion-driven cathodic disbondment by (ZnPhos) pigments. Using hot-dip galvanized steel (HDG) substrates, delamination rates model polyvinylbutyral (PVB) coatings comprising different pigment volume fractions (?) phosphate-loaded ...

Colour plays a vital role in marketing any product such as cosmetics, food additives, pharmaceutical products etc. It gives the attractiveness for product. also helps to get attention of customers. Early days synthetic dyes were used colorants these products. The carcinogenic effect and toxic made impact thirst on use natural dyes. Natural are obtained from pigments produced by microorganisms p...

Special wetting surfaces with superhydrophilicity or superhydrophobicity have attracted great interest because of their potential for practical applications. However, since the special wetting surface may be used in a severe environment, including polluted air and seawater, it is necessary to develop a durable special wetting surface with excellent corrosion-resistance. Here, we report a new st...

We study the correlation of wetting properties and corrosion rates on hydrophobized cast iron. Samples of different surface roughnesses (abraded by sandpaper) are studied without coating and with two types of hydrophobic coatings (stearic acid and a liquid repelling spray). The contact angles and contact angle hysteresis are measured using a goniometer while corrosion rates are measured by a po...

due to good biocompatibility, corrosion and mechanical properties, magnesium (mg) is considered promising degradable material for orthopedic applications. in this work, mg-mgznx (x= 1, 2, 3 and 4) nanocomposites scaffolds with different porosities were synthesized via powder metallurgy method. the microstructure, composition, in vitro corrosion and mechanical properties of porous magnesium-zinc...
