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 …

Recently, many efforts have been made to find environmentally friendly substitutes for
carcinogen Cr6+ in the pre-treatments of metal substrates. Silane films are one of the …

Potentiostatic electrolysis was carried out to prepare super-hydrophobic film on the surface
of metallic zinc. The resultant film was examined by field emission scanning electron …

A superhydrophobic-carbon fibre (CF) layer with enhanced corrosion inhibition ability was
catalytically grown on a Zn surface. Cu, which was produced by a galvanic replacement …

Organosilanes are incorporated into a commercial cathodic electrophoretic paint, resulting
in significant improvement in the long-term corrosion protective properties of the paint. The …

The influence of zirconium based conversion coating on the surface free energy and
adhesion performance of an epoxy coated mild steel substrate was evaluated before and …

The layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly approach is a versatile way for the construction of
multilayered nanoparticles coating. We demonstrated that the TiO 2 nanoparticles could be …

The aim of this paper is to study the corrosion resistance of hybrid films. Tin plate was coated
with a siloxane–poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) hybrid film prepared by sol–gel route …

Densely sintered aluminum oxide (α-Al2O3) is chemically and biologically inert. To improve
the interaction with biomolecules and cells, its surface has to be modified prior to use in …

Two distinct organic–inorganic hybrid (OIH) matrices were synthesised using the sol–gel
method and deposited on hot-dip galvanized steel (HDGS) by dip-coating. These OIHs …
