Thin films have emerged as an ideal surface treatment to the permanent implant materials to
enhance properties such as biodegradation resistance, better mechanical strengths and …

Internal corrosion due to under deposit corrosion (UDC) is responsible for at least 20% of
incidents in the oil and gas industry. As a result, over the past decade, UDC has received …

A cleaning intervention is introduced to control the growth defect of Cr/GLC multi-layered
coating to avoid premature failure in the deep-sea environment. The results demonstrated …

Corrosion resistance of tantalum coatings 30 μm thick deposited by chemical vapor
deposition on SS316L coupons has been evaluated by electrochemical impedance …

Magnesium alloys have great potential for medical applications. However, their rapid
degradation has limited their development. Hydrogen-free DLC coatings were deposited on …

The practical application of superhydrophobic surfaces in corrosion protection often suffers
from complicated fabrication processes, requirement for high-cost fluorosilane modification …

The DLC coatings are chemically inert, have low friction coefficient and good wear
resistance. Depending on H content and sp 3 bonds, they can be classified in “soft” or “hard” …

In the present study, chitosan/gelatin/hydroxyapatite (HA) coating was developed on 316L
stainless steel (SS) via electrophoretic deposition (EPD). This type of film exhibits a …

In the present work, we systematically investigate the tribocorrosion behaviour of diamond-
like carbon (DLC) films on 316L stainless steel substrates in the context of their biomedical …

Amorphous carbon can be any mixture of carbon bonds of sp 3, sp 2, and even sp 1, with the
possible presence of hydrogen. The group of mixture, of which there is a high fraction of …
