Electrochemical Evaluation of Corrosion Behavior in Industrial Alloys Under Acidic and Marine Conditions
Abstract: Corrosion represents a spontaneous physicochemical transformation in which metals revert to their more stable thermodynamic state, typically oxides, hydroxides, or sulfides, as a result of interaction with environmental elements. Rather than being a simple surface reaction, corrosion is a complex electrochemical phenomenon that significantly influences the durability, reliability, and performance of metallic structures across industrial, marine, and domestic sectors. The consequences extend beyond material degradation, contributing to substantial economic losses, …

Engineered Hybrid Nanoclay-Infused Nano-Polymers for Multifunctional Anti-Corrosive Coatings
Abstract: Polymer nanocomposites reinforced with layered nanofillers have emerged as an effective route to enhance structural stability in protective coating applications. Polymer–clay nanocomposites also provide a promising route to enhance mechanical robustness and environmental durability in coating systems. In this study, a hybrid epoxy–polyurethane (EPU) coating was reinforced using organo-modified montmorillonite (o-MMT) and layered double hydroxide intercalated with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (LDH–MBT). Uniform dispersion and interfacial anchoring between the nanoclays and polymer chains …
