Multiphase Interfacial Regulation Based on Hierarchical Porous Molybdenum Selenide to Build Anticorrosive and Multiband Tailorable Absorbers

Electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorbing materials have an irreplaceable position in the field of military stealth as well as in the field of electromagnetic pollution control.And in order to cope with the complex electromagnetic environment,the design of multifunctional and multiband high efficiency EMW absorbers remains a tremendous challenge.In this work,we designed a three-dimensional porous structure via the salt melt synthesis strategy to optimize the impedance matching of the absorber.Also,through interfacial engineering,a molybdenum carbide transition layer was introduced between the molybdenum selenide nanoparticles and the three-dimensional porous carbon matrix to improve the absorption behavior of the absorber.The analysis indicates that the number and components of the heterogeneous interfaces have a significant impact on the EMW absorption performance of the absorber due to mechanisms such as interfacial polarization and conduction loss introduced by interfacial engineering.Wherein,the prepared MoSe_(2)/MoC/PNC composites showed excellent EMW absorption performance in C,X,and Ku bands,especially exhibiting a reflection loss of−59.09 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 6.96 GHz at 1.9 mm.The coordination between structure and components endows the absorber with strong absorption,broad bandwidth,thin thickness,and multi-frequency absorption characteristics.Remarkably,it can effectively reinforce the marine anticorrosion property of the epoxy resin coating on Q235 steel substrate.This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between interfacial engineering and the performance of EMW absorbers,and provides a reference for the design of multifunctional,multiband EMW absorption materials.

Anticorrosive and antibacterial smart integrated strategy for biomedical magnesium

Biomedical magnesium is an ideal material for hard tissue repair and replacement.However,its rapid degradation and infection after implantation significantly hindersclinical applications.To overcome these two critical drawbacks,we describe an integrated strategybased on the changes in pH and Mg^(2+)triggered by magnesiumdegradation.This system can simultaneously offer anticorrosion and antibacterial activity.First,nanoengineered peptide-grafted hyperbranched polymers(NPGHPs)with excellent antibacterial activity were introduced to sodium alginate(SA)to construct a sensitive NPGHPs/SA hydrogel.The swelling degree,responsiveness,and antibacterial activity were then investigated,indicating that the system can perform dual stimulation of pH and Mg^(2+)with controllable antimicrobial properties.Furthermore,an intelligent platform was constructed by coating hydrogels on magnesium with polydopamine as the transition layer.The alkaline environment generated by the corrosion of magnesium reduces the swelling degree of the coatingso that the liquid is unfavorable for contacting the substrate,thus exhibiting superior corrosion resistance.Antibacterial testing shows that the material can effectively fight against bacteria,while hemolytic and cytotoxicity testing suggest that it is highly biocompatible.Thus,this work realizes the smart integration of anticorrosion and antibacterial properties of biomedical magnesium,thereby providing broader prospects for the use of magnesium.

The anti-Temperature-vibration properties of viscoelastic anticorrosive tape

Viscoelastic anticorrosive tape is extensively used for repairing anticorrosive layers on compressor outlet pipelines in the oil and gas industry.However,there is no relevant research on the coupling effect of temperature and vibration on the performance of viscoelastic anticorrosive tape.In this paper,acceleration tests of temperature and vibration coupling conditions were conducted to investigate the performance of viscoelastic anticorrosive tape.After temperature and vibration treatment,the specimens showed wide variance in thickness,and the adhesion and chemical soaking resistance of the tape was reduced.However,the viscoelastic anticorrosive tape still showed high adhesion.According to theoretical calculations,the tested viscoelastic body can repair pipes with a maximum diameter of 903 mm.Therefore,this viscoelastic anticorrosive tape is suitable for the compressor outlets of buried pipelines with diameters smaller than 903 mm.The research in this paper provides a method and basis for the selection of repairing materials for the anticorrosion coatings of compressor outlet pipelines.

Formation of a cerium conversion coating on magnesium alloy using ascorbic acid as additive.Characterisation and anticorrosive properties of the formed films

Cerium-based conversion coatings were formed on AZ91D magnesium alloy by immersion of the substrate in solutions containing Ce(NO_(3))_(3),H_(2)O_(2) and ascorbic acid(HAsc).The characterisation of the films was performed by electrochemical and surface analysis techniques such as SEM,EDS,X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).The degree of corrosion protection achieved was evaluated in simulated physiological solution by the open circuit potential monitoring,polarisation techniques and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS).The presence of HAsc in the conversion solution causes changes in the morphology,adherence and anticorrosive performance of the films.The improvement in the corrosion resistance is closely associated with the corrosion inhibition properties of HAsc.

Development of Siliconized Epoxy Resins and Their Application as Anticorrosive Coatings

The present work involves the development of siliconized epoxy resin to overcome the drawback of epoxy resin like poor impact strength, high rigidity and moisture absorbing nature because of which they are not applied as corrosion resistant coating. By embedding silicone into the back bone of polymeric resin the above drawback can be reduced to substantial level.

Cured films were evaluated for their thermal, mechanical, chemical and corrosion resistance properties to ascertain the commercial utility of these eco-friendly resin for use in anti corrosive formulations. The siliconized epoxy resins system was found to exhibit good thermal and anticorrosive properties.

Self-healing anticorrosive coatings in extreme environment have attracted considerable interest from researchers.In this work,4-tert-butylpyridine(TBP)was incorporated into brominated butyl rubber(BIIR)polymer networks to form a reversible ionic bond with the highly reactive bromine anion.Based on the low glass transition temperature of the BIIR polymer and the electrostatic effects,a robust self-healing anticorrosive coating of TBP-BIIR was prepared.TBP-BIIR coating showed a maximum protection efficiency(PE)of more than 94%(TBP-BIIR-acid,94.37%;TBP-BIIR-alkali,94.95%;TBP-BIIR-salt,95.49%)when treated with a strong acid(HNO_(3),pH=2),strong base(NaOH,pH=12)and high salt solution(3.5 wt%NaCl).In addition,the PE of coating repaired exceed 89%,and the maximum PE value was approximately 95%in different solutions,which demonstrated its extinguished self-healing abilities.These results indicated that the TBP-BIIR anticorrosive coating could provide excellent safety and durability in special environment,which would be extremely beneficial to improve the working life of metal parts used in aviation and shipping,oil and gas and related industries.

Controllable coating NiAl-layered double hydroxides on carbon nanofibers as anticorrosive microwave absorbers

For harsh real-world service settings,it is essential to build corrosion-resistant,diverse,and effective microwave absorbers.Herein,we successfully prepared a 3D NiAl-layered double hydroxide/carbon nanofibers(NiAl-LDH/CNFs)composite material as an anticorrosive microwave absorber assisted by an atomic layer deposition(ALD)method.The size,coating thickness,and content of NiAl-LDH can be readily adjusted by changing the ALD cycling numbers.The optimized NiAl-LDH/CNFs demonstrates prominent microwave absorbing properties including the strongest reflection loss of–55.65 dB and the widest effective absorption bandwidth of 4.80 GHz with only 15 wt%loading.The reasons for performance improvement are the cooperative effect of interfacial polarization loss,conduction loss,and three-dimensional porous structure.Moreover,due to the synergistic effects between the excellent impermeability of CNFs and the trapping ability of NiAl-LDH for chloride ions,NiAl-LDH/CNFs exhibits strong corrosion resistances under acidic,neutral,and alkaline conditions.NiAl-LDH/CNFs should be a potential candidate to simultaneously use for microwave absorption and corrosion resistance,and this work provides a certain guiding significance for designing microwave absorbers that satisfy the corrosion resistance.

Lanthanum-exchanged zeolite and clay as anticorrosive pigments for galvanized steel

A wide variety of inhibitive pigments is now being offered as possible alternatives to chromate and lead compounds for painted metals protection. Unfortunately, the most wide spread of these substitute pigments, zinc phosphate, has, at present, raised some environmental concern because phosphate causes the eutrophication of water courses and zinc itself is toxic. The aim of this re-search was to study the anticorrosive performance of a mixture consisting of zinc phosphate, modified zeolite and clay （bentonite） in order to diminish phosphate content in paints. The zeolite and the clay were exchanged with La（III） ions, as inorganic green inhibitor. In the first step, the anticorrosion protection by La（III） ions in solution was assessed by electrochemical tests. In the second step, an epoxy-polyamide paint formulated with the pigment mixture applied on galvanized panels was studied by salt spray test and electro-chemical noise measurements （ENM）. The results showed that it was possible to replace part of the zinc phosphate content in the paint with the exchanged zeolite and the clay.

Polydopamine-modified metal-organic frameworks nanoparticles enhance the corrosion resistance and bioactivity of polycaprolactone coating on high-purity magnesium

Biodegradable magnesium(Mg)and its alloys exhibit excellent biocompatibility and mechanical compatibility,demonstrating tremendous potential for applications in orthopedics.However,the rapid degradation rate has limited their clinical application.Polycaprolactone(PCL)is commonly employed as a polymer coating to impede the rapid degradation of Mg.Unfortunately,its long-term anti-corrosion capability and bioactivity are inadequate.To address these issues,polydopamine(PDA)-modified zeolitic imidazolate framework-8(PZIF-8)bioactive nanoparticles are fabricated and incorporated into the PCL coating.The PZIF-8 particles,featuring catechol motifs,can enhance the compactness of the PCL coating,reduce its defects,and possess biomineralization ability,thereby effectively improving its anti-corrosive and bioactive properties.Moreover,the active substances released from the degradation of the PZIF-8 particles such as Zn^(2+)and PDA are beneficial for osteogenesis.The corrosion tests indicate that the corrosion current density of PCL-treated sample decreases by more than one order of magnitude and the amount of H_(2)released decreases from 0.23±0.12 to 0.08±0.08 ml cm^(-2)after doping with the PZIF-8.Furthermore,the improved corrosion resistance and released PDA and Zn^(2+)from the coating can promote osteogenic differentiation by up-regulating the expression of alkaline phosphatase activity,related osteogenic genes,and proteins.In addition,in vivo implantation experiments in rabbit femur defects further offer strong evidence that the doping of PZIF-8 nanoparticles accelerates bone reconstruction of the PCL coating.In summary,this work implies a new strategy to fabricate a PCL-based coating on Mg-based implants by introducing the PZIF-8 particles for orthopedic applications.

These coatings are meticulously designed for robust corrosion resistance, blending theoreticalinsights and practical applications to enhance our grasp of corrosion prevention mechanisms and establisha systematic approach to coating design.

This realization advances the field ofmaterials and the field’s knowledge of coated generation,particularly anticorrosion converter layers.

Smart ZnS@C filler for super-anticorrosive self-healing zinc-rich epoxy coating

The zinc-rich epoxy cathodic protection coating is the most widely used anticorrosion material for marine steel.However,traditional conductive fillers lack the intelligent self-healing effect,which limits the long-term anticorrosion performance.Herein,with uniform carbon-coated ZnS(ZnS@C)nanoballs as the smart active release filler,we propose an anticorrosive and self-healing zinc-rich maleic anhydride epoxy coating.Due to the high pore filling efficiency of the nanoballs,the water vapor transmission rate of the coating with an initial corrosion efficiency of 99.92%and a low-frequency impedance of|Z|f=10mHz=3.88×10^(10) Ω·cm^(2),was reduced by 52%.The carbon-shell of the nanoball increases electron transmission paths in the coating and improves conductivity by nearly two orders of magnitude,which effectively activates more Zn-sites and extends the cathodic protection time.Moreover,once the steel-substrate undergoes regional corrosion,the SO_(4)^(2-)hydrolyzes from the ZnS-core of the nanoball and reacts with iron ions on the corroded area accurately and intelligently to fill the gap and self-heals into a new dense barrier layer(Fe_(2)(SO_(4))_(3),etc.),which significantly improves the shielding protection ability during the long-term usage of the coating.The effective anticorrosion time of the proposed coating could be up to 3,400 h.

Optimizing Heavy-duty Anticorrosive Performances of Coating Films Formed by Acrylate-vinylidene Chloride Copolymer Latexes through Twice-painting Technique

Twice-painting technique was adopted to prepare heavy-duty anticorrosive coating films formed by aqueous latexes of copolymers of vinylidene chloride（VDC） with an acrylate, namely methyl acrylate（MA）, ethyl acrylate（EA）, butyl acrylate（BA） or 2-ethylhexyl acrylate（EHA）. Harsh salt-spray corrosion tests demonstrated that the optimized twicepainting technique was that the acidic latex solution was adjusted to p H 5-6 for the first painting, while it was utilized directly for the second painting. The test of 600 h of harsh salt-spray corrosion showed that MA-VDC85 coating could protect the steel excellently, whereas the other acrylate-VDC coatings with 75%-90% VDC content could not protect the steel so effectively. Further corrosion test showed that（1） MA-VDC85 coating protected steel from loss of metallic luster for at least 1000 h of salt-spray corrosion;（2） adhesion of MA-VDC85 coating to steel was excellent for at least 800 h of saltspray corrosion, but became very poor after 1000 h. Differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were used to evaluate the corroded MA-VDC85 film.
