Polymer-based coatings are a long-established category of protective coatings for metals and alloys regarding corrosion inhibition. The polymer films can degrade, and when coated on metallic substrates, the degradation facilitates moisture and oxygen...

Machine learning (ML) is providing a new design paradigm for many areas of technology, including corrosion inhibition. However, ML models require relatively large and diverse training sets to be most effective. This paper provides an overview of deve...

Tribocorrosion, a research field that has been evolving for decades, has gained renewed attention in recent years, driven by increased demand for wear- and corrosion-resistant materials from biomedical implants, nuclear power generation, advanced man...

The radiolysis of water is a significant cause of corrosion damage in the primary heat transport systems (PHTSs) of water-cooled, fission nuclear power reactors (BWRs, PWRs, and CANDUs) and is projected to be a significant factor in the evolution of...

The variability found in real structures is a function of the “intrinsic” variability of the material itself, of its aging with time and of the external climatic conditions, and, therefore, it is normal that the chloride threshold and the...

This research article explores the potential of optical fibers as sensors, highlighting their ability to measure various parameters such as temperature, pressure, stress, and radiation dose. The study focuses on investigating the material compatibili...

Hybrid treatments consisting of surface modification and subsequent protective coatings have gained extensive attention among corrosion mitigation approaches for a wide variety of structural metallic materials. This study aims to review the enhanceme...

Since 2011, there has been an international effort to evaluate the behavior of newer fuel rod materials for the retrofitting of existing light water reactors (LWR). These materials include concepts for the cladding of the fuel and for the fuel itself...

As a result of the exponential growth in the production of plastics and their extended degradation period, strong environmental concerns in association with the disposal of plastic waste have emerged. Pursuing sustainable solutions for managing plast...

Corrosion on the interface between a metal alloy, such as steel, and a wet, permeable non-metallic medium is of considerable practical interest. Examples include the interface between steel and water, the atmosphere or concrete, as for steel reinforc...
