AbstractSmart coatings that provide corrosion protection on demand have received a lot of recent attention. In the present study, nanofibers containing a corrosion inhibitor were prepared by a coaxial electrospinning technique, which addresses the limitations of inhibitor-loaded microcapsules or nanocontainers. The as-prepared nanofibers have a core-shell structure with Ce(NO3)3 and the chitosan/polyacrylic acid polyelectrolyte coacervate as the core and shell materials, respectively. UV-vis spectroscopic analysis confirms that the nanofibers are pH-sensitive and able to release the enclosed Ce(NO3)3 at both low and high pH conditions, which are spontaneously generated during corrosion at local anodes and cathodes, respectively. A coating system consisting of such nanofibers within a polyvinyl butyral coating matrix exhibits improved corrosion protection of an AA2024-T3 substrate. Moreover, the embedded Ce(NO3)3-loaded nanofibers can persistently release Ce(NO3)3 to impede corrosion of AA2024-T3 when the artificially damaged coating sample is exposed to NaCl solution.

The active phase in heterogeneous catalysts consists of nanometer-sized metal or oxide particles dispersed within the tortuous pore structure of a high surface area matrix. Such catalysts are extensively used for controlling emissions from automobile exhausts or in industrial processes such as the refining of crude oil to produce gasoline. The morphology of these nano-particles is of great interest to catalytic chemists since it affects the activity and selectivity for a class of reactions known as structure-sensitive reactions. In this paper, we describe some of the challenges in the study of heterogeneous catalysts, and provide examples of how electron holography can help in extracting details of particle structure and morphology on an atomic scale.Conventional high-resolution TEM imaging methods permit the image intensity to be recorded, but the phase information in the complex image wave is lost. However, it is the phase information which is sensitive at the atomic scale to changes in specimen thickness and composition, and thus analysis of the phase image can yield important information on morphological details at the nanometer level.
