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

2. Quantitative in situ analysis of initial atmospheric corrosion of copper induced by carboxylic acids
Abstract : The interaction of carboxylic acids with copper is a phenomenon found both outdoors and, more commonly, indoors. The influence on copper of some carboxylic acids (formic, acetic, propionic, and butyric) have so far been studied at concentrations levels at least three or four orders of magnitude higher than actual indoor conditions (< 20 ppb, volume parts per billion), and with only limited emphasis on any mechanistic approach.

3. Protective and Nanoporous Alumina Films Studied in situ by X-ray and Electrochemical Methods
Abstract : In this thesis, the studies of native and anodic oxides on both aluminum model single crystal surfaces as well as on aluminum alloys found in applications are presented. The focus has been on the characterization in situ as the oxide is growing by an electrochemical process called anodization. READ MORE

4. Synthesis and In Situ ToF-LEIS Analysis of Ultrathin Silicides and Ti-based Films
Abstract : Thin films and coatings play a significant role in today’s society, with applications in electronics, optics, mechanics, and biomedicine. Further advancement in the field of surface coatings requires a good understanding of the unique features of ultrathin films and surfaces, which can only be reached with analysis techniques capable of resolving composition and morphology on a sub-nm scale.

5. On the deformation behavior and cracking of ductile iron; effect of microstructure
Abstract : This thesis focuses on the effect of microstructural variation on the mechanical properties and deformation behavior of ductile iron. To research and determine these effects, two grades of ductile iron, (i) GJS-500-7 and (ii) high silicon GJS-500-14, were cast in a geometry containing several plates with different section thicknesses in order to produce microstructural variation.
