Understanding the Corrosion Mechanism in Chrome Coatings

Unusual corrosion process of gold nanoplates and the mechanism study.

Herein we describe an unusual localized corrosion that initiates on large {111} surfaces and ends with the complete fragmentation of the gold nanoplates, which is expected to develop into a specific method for processing large metal nanomaterials into smaller ones with desired shapes.

Understanding phenomena

The literature on the nature of understanding can be divided into two broad camps. Explanationists believe that it is knowledge of explanations that is key to understanding. In contrast, their manipulationist rivals maintain that understanding essentially involves an ability to manipulate certain representations. The aim of this paper is to provide a novel knowledge based account of understandi...

Matrix analysis of corrosion inhibition phenomena: Theoretical technique for inhibitor prediction and pre-selection

Matrix Analysis of Corrosion Inhibition Phenomena (MACIP), in which an inhibitor isconsidered as a point in a multi-dimensional virtual efficiency space, was performed on somepyridine derivatives. The needed molecular parameters such as HOMO and LUMO energylevels, charge densities on hetero atom, dipole moment, heat of formation, and total energyvalues were obtained by means of semi-empirical q...
