In this research, ZnO nanoparticles modified with imidazole in O-xylene solution and characterized with Fourier transform infrared FTIR spectroscopy. Then, polyaniline-ZnO unmodified and imidazole modified nanocomposites were synthesized via in-situ emulsion polymerization method. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by FTIR and scanning electron microscopy SEM. The anti-corrosion ...

in the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (pemfcs), low corrosion resistance and high interfacial contact resistance (icr) are two controversial issues in usage of aisi 316l stainless steel as a metallic bipolar plate. for solving these problems, investigation and development of different coatings and/or surface treatments are inevitable. corrosion behavior and icr of aisi 316l specimens c...

We outline the ability of zinc phosphate coatings, obtained by chemical conversion, to protect mild steel rebars against localized corrosion, generated by chloride ions in alkaline media. The corrosion resistance of coated steel, in comparison with uncoated rebars and coated and uncoated steel rebars embedded in mortar, were evaluated by open-circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization, cro...

in this work, polypyrrole/ceo2 nanocomposite (nc) was synthesized in the presence of methylorange as a reactive self-degraded soft template. the field emission scanning electron microscopy(fesem) images indicate that the ceo2 nps have a nucleus effect and cause a homogenous ppycore–shell type morphology with an encapsulation of the ceo2 core by the ppy shell. the effect ofnc on acrylic waterbor...

plasma electrolytic oxidation (peo) is the new, environmentally and cost-effective method for coating the metals. this method vastly has been studied for coating aluminum, titanium and magnesium and their alloys and recently for steel. in present study, ck45 steel samples were coated by peo method in order to improve corrosion resistance. during this process specimens were immerged in carbonate...

statement of problem: many attempts have been made in order to evaluate the amalgam corrosion behavior as an indicator of biocompatibility. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the initial corrosion of four different brands of dental amalgams. materials and methods: four different types of commercial high copper dental amalgam were studied. a special mold was used and twen...
