Corrosion Prevention of Electronic Materials

Corrosion Prevention

Speculating about where the future of the field of corrosion prevention, detection, and rehabilitation might lead is interesting—but not without risk. We all are aware of the revolution in electronics, particularly digital electronics, and information science during the past 20 years. We also should recognize that materials science and technology have undergone a major revolution, bringing us n...

Fundamental Aspects of Corrosion of Metallic Materials

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...

Nanostructure of Materials and Corrosion Resistance

The application of nanotechnology in the field of corrosion protection of metals and alloys attracts the attention of researchers. Many of these applications require good understanding of the corrosion behavior of the materials as a function of microstructure. Significant prog‐ ress has been made in various aspects of synthesis of nano-scale materials. In addition, nanostructures promote select...

Importance of Corrosion Resistance in Dental Materials

For selecting an alloy or material to be used for implant procedure, it is necessary to remember that, there is a number of factors like corrosion behavior, mechanical properties, biocompatibility and cytotoxicity, and also the availability and cost, while the aesthetic measures needed are in a second priority. The most important property is corrosion behavior as it is responsible for the conti...
