Nanoscale coatings of AuAlx and PtAlx and their mesoporous elemental derivatives
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method to produce nanoscale films of AuAlx and PtAlx, and their mesoporous elemental derivatives is described, and the morphology and optical properties of these coatings explored. The color of the AuAlx film is bright purple, in agreement with ab initio calculations and experimental observations for the compound AuAl2, but becomes black after de-alloying with NaOH. The film of PtAlx is silver-grey and changes to grey after being converted to mesoporous Pt by de-alloying. Both mesoporous coatings exhibit a very rough surface, with pores of between 2 and 20 nm in diameter, and display a significantly more absorptive optical characteristic compared to their ordinary elemental counterparts.

Development of spacecraft black thermal control coatings using the synthesized mesoporous Co3O4 pigment
The thermo-optical properties of coated surface are important for spacecraft thermal control coatings which depend on the optical properties and structure of the coating material. These coatings control the temperature by their capability of outer energy absorption and its emission. The optical properties of pigment can be improved if the pigment contains a high fraction of voids in its structu...

In this research, mesoporous silica was applied as the host of corrosion inhibitor (molybdate). The loaded mesoporous silica was dispersed in an epoxy matrix. The composite was then coated on the mild steel plate. Results showed that the corrosion resistance of the scratched epoxy/mesoporous silica loaded by molybdate was better than the one without molybdate or neat epoxy. On the other hand, E...

The idea of smart corrosion inhibition is basis on either inhibitor consumption where it is needed or reducing harmful matrix interaction with it. In addition, applying corrosion inhibitor in a coating causes many problems such as loss of inhibition capability, coating degradation, or both. A useful technique to overcome this problem is applying of inert host systems of nanometer dimensions as ...
