Corrosion Prevension by Organic Materials

Recent Advances in Computational Design of Organic Materials for Corrosion Protection of Steel in Aqueous Media

New possibilities of metal corrosion inhibition by organic heterocyclic compounds

It is shown that many heterocyclic organic compounds, e.g., various azoles, are capable of adsorption on metals with formation of strong bonds with the surface. The approach based on the linear free energy relationship (LFER) principle offers a description of the efficiency of corrosion inhibition by these compounds and provides an understanding of the nature of chemical bonds formed by an orga...

Metal-organic framework materials as nano photocatalyst

Photocatalytic degradation of toxic organic compound in water, soil and air by semiconductor catalysts such as TiO2 and ZnO have received much attention over the last two decades. However, the low quantum yield, easy agglomeration and difficult post-separation of these inorganic catalysts limit their application for large-scale applications. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are the latest class ...

Microbially Influenced Corrosion of Industrial Materials

This communication outlines the principles of application of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) as a tool for studying physico-chemical and biological phenomena and discusses the potential use of atomic force microscopy (AFM), a form of SPM, for investigation of bacterial biofilms formed on metal surfaces and for studying corrosion of these surfaces in the presence of such biofilms. AFM images sho...
