Titanium alloys are acclaimed for their remarkable biocompatibility, high specific strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and stable performance in high and low temperatures. These characteristics render them invaluable in a multitude of sectors,...
This review of the tribocorrosion of coatings and surface modifications covers nearly 195 papers and reviews that have been published in the past 15 years, as compared to only 37 works published up to 2007, which were the subject of a previous review...
Smart self-healing coatings offer a revolutionary approach to mitigating metal corrosion, a problem with significant economic and environmental impacts. Divided into intrinsic and extrinsic types, these coatings autonomously rectify the damage. Intri...
Phytochemical-rich natural extracts have recently attracted intense attention as green corrosion inhibitors and costly benign coating components for the protection of metallic structures of immense commercial importance. Herein, various methods were...
Aluminum alloys are extensively used to manufacture mechanical components. However, when exposed to alkaline environments, like lubricants, refrigerants, or detergents, they can be corroded, reducing their durability. For this reason, the aim of this...
In this article, the effect of active coatings of flaxseed gum (FG) and sodium alginate (SA) containing carvacrol (CA) on the quality of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) after storage at 4 °C for 18 days was evaluated. The experimental results showe...
