The design of “smart” coatings and structural materials continue to offer immense promise in many emerging technologies ranging from self-healing coatings to stimuli-responsive drug delivery vehicles. Significant advances demand integration across length scales, ranging from non-covalent interactions and self-assembly at the nanometer dimension to the engineering and fabrication of functional d...

Abstract Corrosion and its protection are one of the major challenges that faced by industries. To overcome this, new coatings with characteristic properties which environmentally friendly introduced. A cost-effective most reliable way corrosion is via barrier coatings, in water-based epoxy showed significant resistance. Although coating creates a between metal corroding ions, there chance leak...

ni-p and ni layers multilayer coatings were applied to az31 magnesium alloy utilizing electroless and electrodeposition procedures. the aim of the project was to decrease cracks and increase corrosion resistance of the coatings. in order to compare the coatings, the effect of single layer electroless ni-p coatings with different thicknesses was also investigated. the microstructure and phase co...
