The corrosion process is a major source of metallic material degradation, particularly in
aggressive environments, such as marine ones. Corrosion progression affects the service …

This paper is a review of the most recent and relevant achievements (from 2001 to 2013) on
the development of organic–inorganic hybrid (OIH) coatings produced by sol–gel-derived …

Corrosion degradation of materials and metallic structures is one of the major issues that
give rise to depreciation of assets, causing great financial outlays in their recovery and or …

The preparation and properties of protective sol–gel coatings on metallic substrates are
reviewed. Control of the coating microstructure is critical to obtain the desired properties and …

Sol–gel derived organic inorganic hybrid coatings are effective corrosion protective systems
for metals. They offer an excellent adhesion to metal as well as to the subsequent coat via …

Sol–gel protective coatings have shown excellent chemical stability, oxidation control and
enhanced corrosion resistance for metal substrates. Further, the sol–gel method is an …

Inorganic–organic hybrid coatings by sol–gel process are very suitable for fighting corrosion.
Inorganic sols in hybrid coatings not only increase adhesion by forming chemical bonds …

Sol–gel derived films exhibit a high potential as substitutes for the environmentally
unfriendly chromate metal-surface pre-treatment methods. Inorganic sol–gel derived films …

The development of environmentally friendly process for pretreatments of metallic substrates
is a field of growing research due to the ban against chromates used as protective …

In this work, effect of pH on the structure and corrosion protection properties of sol-gel
coatings were investigated, with a special focus on a broad pH range (pH= 1–10) of sol …
