Vapour phase corrosion inhibitors (VPIs) extend their corrosion-inhibiting properties by volatilization and condensation to form a protective film on metal surface. Vapour phase self-assembled films of VPIs have become an attractive means to prevent metal from corrosion. This new methods meet the rust-proof challenges for the steel materials with many advantages....

Control over protein adsorption and cell adhesion is necessary in technical processes such as water treatment, as well as high-end and academic applications such as bioanalytics or tissue engineering. Coatings prepared from end-functionalised six armed poly(ethylene oxide) based star molecules are shown to be highly effective for a range of biomedical applications

A range of sol-gel anticorrosive coatings has been developed using active pigments consisting of metal particles coated with a very thin layer of semiconducting titanium dioxide. By appropriate pigment selection, protection can be provided at service temperatures up to 600 °C and for short-term exposure in metal processing operations at up to 1300 °C....

A European consortium known as Multiprotect has developed a range of nanoparticle-based corrosion protection systems in an attempt to replace both chromate pretreatments and hard chrome coatings. Various types of coating showed enhanced salt spray resistance and in some cases self-healing properties. Some systems have been applied successfully under industrial conditions....
