The main objective of this review is to describe some of the important topics related to the
use of marine and protective coatings for anticorrosive purposes. In this context,“protective” …

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 …

Recently, the use of renewable sources in the preparation of various industrial materials has
been revitalized because of the environmental concerns. Natural oils are considered to be …

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 …

Metals are used extensively in modern society in a range of applications from infrastructure
to aircraft to consumer products. The protection of metals, primarily from corrosion, has been …

The preparation and application of organic-inorganic hybrid materials are under fast
development and constitute an interesting research topic on account of the versatility and …

This article is an overview of the chemistry and driers used in autoxidatively cured coatings
and in particular alkyds. The drying process for alkyds and other unsaturated fatty acid …

The thermal degradation behaviour of polyacrylate and its zinc oxide composites were
investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG) and Fourier …

This book offers guidance to help you tackle corrosion issues in the oil and gas industries.
Engineers, scientists, and business managers from around the world explain the chemical …

Acrylic-TiO2 coatings prepared from alkoxide precursors were deposited on mild steel. The
coatings were transparent and continuous at thicknesses up to 200μm. The water uptake …
