  4. 2. Understanding corrosion protection mechanisms of nanocomposite polymer coatings on carbon steel : A combination of in-situ AFM and electrochemical studies

    Author : Jing Li; Jinshan Pan; Per Claesson; Herman Terryn; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Polymer coatings; electrochemistry; nano; in-situ AFM; mechanism; corrosion protection; Kemi; Chemistry; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Corrosion protection of carbon steel is crucial in today’s world and there is an urgent need to replace the hazardous compounds used with environmentally friendly anticorrosion coatings. In this European collaborative research project, new types of functional composite anticorrosion coatings for steel were developed with properties beyond the state-of-the-art using nanotechnology.

  6. 4. Development of Novel In Situ ESEM Techniques for the Study of Water Interaction with Soft Materials

    Author : Anna Jansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; environmental scanning electron microscopy; cellulose fibre; water transport; swelling; osmotic shock; yeast cell; in situ; manipulator; water interaction;

    Abstract : The transport of water is central to many applications of soft biomaterials; for example water management in personal care products, controlled drug release in pharmaceuticals and, on a fundamental level, the activities of living cells. Water transport through a material may occur in both liquid and gas phase, and is highly dependent on the microstructure. READ MORE

  7. 5. Development of Novel In Situ Microscopy Techniques for the Study of Water Interaction with Soft Materials

    Author : Anna Jansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; environmental scanning electron microscopy; polymer film; manipulator; yeast cell; swelling; in situ; water transport; cellulose fibre; osmotic shock; water interaction;

    Abstract : The transport of water in soft materials can occur in liquid or gas phase and is highly dependent on the material microstructure and the structure dynamics. Understanding these relationships is the basis for the development of predictive models that can aid the design of new and improved functional materials. READ MORE
