Various methods have been employed to protect metals in assets from corrosion damage,
among which is the use of very efficient and economical organic coatings. The performance …

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 …

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 …

This work reports on design and manufacture of organic–inorganic hybrid coatings based on
diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) epoxy resin pursuing hydrolyzation of …

This work aims to develop and study new anticorrosion films for AZ31B magnesium alloy
based on the sol–gel coating approach. Hybrid organic–inorganic sols were synthesized by …

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 …

Halloysite particles are aluminum‐silicate hollow cylinders with a length of 0.5–1 µm, an
outer diameter of ca. 50 nm and a lumen of 15 nm. These nanotubes are used for loading …

The work aims at investigating the corrosion behavior of AA2024-T3 substrates pretreated
with sol–gel derived hybrid coatings. The hybrid sols were prepared by copolymerization of …

Nanocomposites are high-performance materials with exceptional characteristics that
possess properties that their individual constituents, by themselves, cannot provide. They …

Corrosion of metallic components represents a major issue in the aeronautical sector, giving
rise to safety concerns and significant financial damages. Conversion coatings (CC) based …
