Chemical surface coatings not only provide a powerful barrier between metallic substrates
and their surroundings but also impart desired surface performances to an underlying …

Silanization is an effective green and pollution-free technology for metal surface treatment.
However, the silane film is usually lack of anticorrosion durability due to low mechanical …

This work is aimed at developing and investigating silane based organic–inorganic hybrid
coatings possessing unique properties, which can be used to improve the performance of …

In this work, hydroxylated Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (OH-MWCNTs) were embedded
in phenyl-trimethoxysilane (PTMS) sol-gel coating at different concentrations to improve the …

The fast corrosion rate of magnesium alloys has restricted their use as biodegradable
implants. Hence developing a practical approach to retard the corrosion rate of the AZ31 …

One of the promising candidates to replace the chromate conversion coatings for corrosion
protection of aluminium alloy AA7075 are the hybrid sol–gel coatings. In the present work …

The hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs), which have been used as the
nanocontainers for the corrosion inhibitor, benzotriazole, were fabricated using the hard …

The effects of dipping duration in the silane solution and the sol pH on the protective
performance of an eco-friendly silane sol–gel coating consisting a mixture of …

In the last few years great efforts have been made in order to find and to develop
environmentally friendly substitutes for Cr6+ pre-treatments applied on aluminium alloys …

Sol− gel coatings containing various amounts of hydroxylated nanodiamond (HND) particles
were applied on the magnesium alloy for corrosion protection. The micrometric defects in the …
