CeO2 nanoparticles were incorporated in waterborne binders containing high biobased content (up to 70%) in order to analyze the anticorrosion performance for direct to metal coatings. Biobased binders were synthesized by batch miniemulsion polymerization of 2-octyl acrylate and isobornyl methacrylate monomers using a phosphate polymerizable surfactant (Sipomer PAM200) that lead to the formation of phosphate functionalized latexes. Upon the direct application of such binders on steel, the functionalized polymer particles were able to interact with steel, creating a thin phosphatization layer between the metal and the polymer and avoiding flash rust. The in situ incorporation of the CeO2 nanoparticles during the polymerization process led to their homogeneous distribution in the final polymer film, which produced outstanding anticorrosion performance according to the Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy measurements. In fact, steel substrates coated with the hybrid polymer film (30–40 µm thick) showed high barrier corrosion resistance after 41 days (~1000 h) of immersion in NaCl water solution and active inhibition capabilities thanks to the presence of the CeO2 nanoparticles. This work opens the door to the fabrication of sustainable hybrid anticorrosion waterborne coatings.

Refractory high-entropy alloy (RHEA) is one of the most promising materials for use in high-temperature structural materials. In this study, the WMoNbTaV coatings on 304 stainless steel substrates has been prepared by mechanical alloying (MA). Effects of V addition and subsequent heat treatment on properties of the WMoNbTaV coatings were investigated. The results show that the RHEA coatings with nanocrystalline body-centered cubic (BCC) solid-solution phase were generated by the mechanical alloying process. The presence of the V element promotes a uniform microstructure and homogeneous distribution of composition in the RHEA coatings due to improving alloying efficiency, resulting in an increase of hardness. After the annealing treatment of the RHEA coatings, microstructure homogeneity was further enhanced; however, the high affinity of Ta for oxygen causes the formation of Ta-rich oxides. Annealing also removes strain hardening generated by high-energy ball milling and thus decreases the hardness of the RHEA coating and alters microstructure evolution and mechanical properties.

ABSTRACTCoating failure initiates as a local event at defects which can result from chemical heterogeneities in the resin or physical defects such as bubbles, underfilm deposits, or pinholes. The ability to detect, map the location, as well as make quantitative in-situ measurements of coating heterogeneities will help identify the source of failure (i.e. coating chemistry, method of application, cure schedule, etc.) and provide insight into the mechanisms of coating degradation. This study used a 5 electrode arrangement to perform local electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (LEIS) on coated steel substrates. Using single frequency measurements, LEIS could successfully detect and map both intentional chemical heterogeneities and physical defects such as subsurface bubbles, underfilm deposits, and pinholes. Efforts to optimize probe design and instrumentation are ongoing.

Sea water resources are extensive and can be used to extinguish fires, but their corrosiveness is a major problem. Using the method of electrochemical workstation, the electrochemical corrosion behavior of aluminum sheet in artificial sea water solution and silica-coated artificial seawater was studied; by analyzing the surface morphology, polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, the electrochemical corrosion behavior of aluminum sheets under different immersion times and different immersion media is obtained. The conclusion is that the coating of nanosilica powder has a certain corrosion protection effect on artificial seawater.

For most kinds of active polymer optical fibers, a homogeneous distribution of dye molecules over the entire fiber length and cross section is required. In this study, chemical bonding of dyes to poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) by copolymerization is achieved within the polymerization process instead of dissolving the dyes in the monomers. In combination with an improved fabrication mechanism, this leads to homogeneous dye distribution within the preforms. A method for proving the integration of the dyes into the polymer chains has been developed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Prestructured core-cladding preforms with dye-doped poly(cylohexyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate)-core have been prepared with the Teflon string technique and were heat-drawn to few mode fibers.

Ni–B4C composite coatings on carbon steel substrates with various contents of B4C nano-particulates were prepared by electrodeposition in Ni plating bath containing B4C nano-particulates. Microhardness, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Tafel polarization and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were used to compare pure nickel coatings and Ni–B4C composite coatings. Pure Ni coating microhardness is lower than that of Ni–B4C coatings and the microhardness of the composite coatings increases with the increase of the content of B4C nano-particulates. The effects of various contents of B4C nano-particulates on the corrosion resistance were investigated and it was found that the best anti–corrosion property of Ni–B4C composite coatings is at 6 g/L B4C in the bath formulation.

The presence of small amounts of human serum albumin (HSA) in urine or microalbuminuria (30–300 µg/mL) is a valuable clinical biomarker for the early detection of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Herein, we report on the development of an inexpensive and disposable immunosensor for the sensitive, specific, and label-free detection of HSA using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). We have utilized a simple one-step screen-printing protocol to fabricate the carbon-based three-electrode system on flexible plastic substrates. To enable efficient antibody immobilization and improved sensitivity, the carbon working electrode was sequentially modified with electropolymerized polyaniline (PANI) and electrodeposited gold nanocrystals (AuNCs). The PANI matrix serves as an interconnected nanostructured scaffold for homogeneous distribution of AuNCs and the resulting PANI/AuNCs nanocomposite synergically improved the immunosensor response. The PANI/AuNCs-modified working electrode surface was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the electrochemical response at each step was analyzed using EIS in a ferri/ferrocyanide redox probe solution. The normalized impedance variation during immunosensing increased linearly with HSA concentration in the range of 3–300 µg/mL and a highly repeatable response was observed for each concentration. Furthermore, the immunosensor displayed high specificity when tested using spiked sample solutions containing different concentrations of actin protein and J82 cell lysate (a complex fluid containing a multitude of interfering proteins). Consequently, these experimental results confirm the feasibility of the proposed immunosensor for early diagnosis and prognosis of CKD at the point of care.
