A universal technology for the encapsulative protection of unstable anionic species by highly stable layered metal oxide has been developed via the surface modification of a metal oxide nanosheet. The surface anchoring of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) on exfoliated titanate nanosheet yields a novel cationic metal oxide nanosheet, which can be universally used for the hybridization with...

During the past decades, FRP strengthened RC structures have attracted worldwide interest in both application and research. Nowadays, as more and more infrastructures are being suffered from severe corrosions due to harsh and extreme environments, the durability of FRP strengthened RC structures has generally emerged as the most important issue in research. Thus, the paper presents the latest p...

Electrolyte is a key material for success in the research and development of next-generation rechargeable batteries. Aluminium rechargeable batteries that use aluminium (Al) metals as anode materials are attractive candidates for next-generation batteries, though they have not been developed yet due to the lack of practically useful electrolytes. Here we present, for the first time, non-corrosi...

On free surfaces without crevice structures, micro pits of several micrometers in diameter that are repassivated immediately called metastable pits. The role the pit as an initiation site corrosion was examined by comparing pitting potential (V′cMS) SUS304 stainless steel measured on surface with critical for (VCREV). VCREV presented similar value to V′cMS. It also revealed pits, well surface, ...

Corrosion caused by the interaction of metal with environment is one biggest problems affecting country's economy. One easiest ways to prevent corrosion cover metals paint, plastic, or wood. Several types coatings based mainly on electrochemical principles have been adopted scientists corrosion. Fortunately, four are used in different and metallurgical industry, cost effectiveness. cheapest mos...

This paper includes the significant on-site experience of the authors related to problems faced in amine systems with fresh amine and their possible solutions in phases#2&3 of South Pars gas                complex. The amine system was designed as a closed circuit system with the primary objective of removing H2S, CO2, and other acidic components from gaseous hydrocarbon streams. Amine plant op...

Distributed generations, using solar photovoltaic (PV) generation systems, are generally connected to ungrounded distribution systems ensure operational continuity and avoid electro-chemical corrosions. The power system possesses an advantage of continuous operation regardless primary fault occurrence due a small current. Conversely, subsequent secondary can induce large current representing th...
