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 …

Biofilm formation on stainless steel (SS) surfaces of food-processing plants, leading to food-
borne illness outbreaks, is enabled by the attachment and confinement of pathogens within …

Latin-American researchers, collaborating with the international community, have
contributed in the last decades to sol-gel knowledge related to the generation of coatings on …

A mechanically durable and chemically stable Cu coated stainless steel mesh is
successfully prepared adopting a simple electrodeposition method. The novel copper film is …

In outdoor environment, the exterior walls surface of buildings always suffers from damages
caused by ultraviolet radiations, temperature variation, abrasion and erosion phenomenon …

Silica adsorbents with controlled porosity were produced by sol-gel technique without using
catalyst. Mesoporosity and water vapor adsorption properties were evaluated for the …

In this work, silica-based adsorbents were prepared by a facile and straightforward sol–gel
route. The adsorption capacity of the prepared materials was investigated using methylene …

In this work we present a simple route to prepare sol-gel silica samples for water adsorption
applications. These materials were not chemically modified neither heat-treated before …
