Human tear comes in contact with a number of instruments during operation in the eyes.  This results in a variety of undesirable effects such as corrosion and malfunction.  Corrosion behaviour of five metals, namely, mild steel (MS), mild steel coated with zinc (MS-Zn), Ni-Cr, Ni-Ti super elastic (Ni-Ti.SE), and SS 316 L in artificial tear solution has been studied by polarization study and AC impedance spectra.  The study reveals that the decreasing order of corrosion resistance in artificial tear solution is : Ni-Ti SE > Ni-Cr > SS 316 L > MS-Zn > MS.  The first three metals are better candidates and the first one is the best candidate for making instruments used in operation in the eyes, in presence of tears.

ZnO nanorods grown by hydrothermal technique on glass, Zinc, and Indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates exhibit both open and closed hexagonal structures. On the nanoscale, closed ZnO nanostructures exhibit two types of ion conduction regions as revealed by AC-impedance spectra collected through the tip of an atomic force microscope (AFM). One region has higher impedance values (apparent values of approximately 107 ohms) with two semicircles. Two semicircles are indicative of a ZnO structure composed of bulk and grain boundary conduction. Other regions were found to have impedance values that were two orders of magnitude lower (apparent values of 105 ohms). This indicates that these ZnO films have two conduction pathways. The polyethylene oxide ( PEO )– ZnO nanorod composite was made by spin-coating the ZnO rods growing from the ITO substrate with PEO. In the PEO – ZnO composite film, only the AC impedance values of 105 ohms were observed. This is higher than PEO electrolyte without ZnO nanorods. Since regions of higher impedance were not seen in the PEO – ZnO nanorod composites, the polymer electrolyte either dominated the conduction of the system or suppressed the first pathway of higher impedance in the ZnO rods.
