A novel active anti-corrosion technique uses ultrasonic guided waves as an "acoustic coating" to protect metal surfaces against salt-spray corrosion. Experimental results show that the method reduces the...
Researchers have developed a multifunctional polyphenylene sulfide-based composite coating that combines superamphiphobicity, mechanical durability and delayed icing. The system repels liquids of various...
Researchers have demonstrated that tailoring the morphology and crystallographic orientation of zinc particles significantly improves the corrosion protection performance of zinc-rich epoxy coatings. A...
Researchers have developed a cost-effective, eco-friendly route to synthesise nano-spherical silica from natural quartz sand and used it as a filler in water-borne epoxy coatings. The composite significantly...
A comprehensive review examines recent advances in silica-based nanomaterials for metal anticorrosion coatings, covering synthesis, surface functionalisation and application as barrier fillers, active...
A newly developed epoxy-based superhydrophobic coating with an embedded double-layer structure increases bonding strength by 33 % compared with silane-based systems and provides over thirty days of corrosion...
Researchers synthesise zinc tannate pigments from Tara pods and demonstrate that these bio-based complexes outperform conventional anticorrosive pigments. Alkyd primers, in particular, benefit from their...
