The extract of Justicia secunda (JS) leaves was investigated as an eco‐friendly corrosion inhibitor of aluminum in 0.5 M HCl using weight loss, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The inhibitor concentrations used ranged from 50 to 250 ppm at 30, 40, and 50oC. Results show that Justicia secunda acts as a good inhibitor for aluminum. Its efficiency increased with increasing inhibitor concentration but decreased with increasing temperature. Maximum inhibition efficiency as high as 94.3% was found at 30°C for 250 ppm of the inhibitor with the weight loss technique. Tafel polarization results show that the extract acts as a mixed-type inhibitor. The Nyquist plots indicated decreasing double-layer capacitance and increasing charge transfer resistance on increasing JS concentration. The inhibition action occurred through the physical adsorption of the extract on the aluminum surface. The adsorption process was found to follow Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The formation of a protective film on the metal surface was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy.

1-dodecyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride ([C12mim]Cl) was adsorbed on iron surface to form an inhibitive film. The adlayer inhibited the metal corrosion in 0.2 M H2SO4 efficiently. The inhibitive effect of [C12mim]Cl was characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Impedance spectra demonstrated that the values of charge-transfer resistance increased when adding [C12mim]Cl into 0.2 M H2SO4. The inhibition efficiency increased with increasing the concentration of [C12mim]Cl. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that the corrosion of iron surface had been inhibited by [C12mim]Cl.

The corrosion behavior of Al-5Zn-0.03In and Al-5Zn-0.03Ga alloys in 3.5 % NaCl solution has been examined by electrochemical methods, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray microanalysis, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that the alloys differ in the microstructure, corroded morphology and electrochemical properties. For Al-5Zn-0.03In alloy, the precipitates enriched in Al and Zn initiates pitting. For Al-5Zn-0.03Ga alloy, corrosion occurs more uniformly, the corrosion of the alloy occurred via the formation of a surface Ga-Al amalgam alloy. The EIS of Al-5Zn-0.03In alloy contains a capacitive loop and an inductive loop; the inductive loop can be attributed to the presence of the pitting. The EIS of Al-5Zn-0.03Ga alloy contains only a capacitive loop.

A novel super-hydrophobic film was prepared by myristic acid (CH3(CH2)12COOH) chemically adsorbed onto the polyethyleneimine (PEI) coated Fe3Al-type intermetallic wafer. The film character and structure were probed with contact angle measurement, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The results suggest that the structure of the film is similar to lotus and the seawater contact angle is larger than 150◦. Moreover, the corrosion resistances of untreated and modified samples in seawater were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Experimental results show that the corrosion rate of Fe3Al-type intermetallic with super-hydrophobic surface decreases dramatically because of its special microstructure.

Three piperidin-4-one oxime derivatives viz. 3,5-dimethyl-2,6-diphenyl-piperidin-4-one oxime (DDPO), 3-ethyl-2,6-diphenyl-piperidin-4-one oxime (EDPO), and 1-methyl-3-isopropyl-2, 6-diphenyl-piperidin-4-one oxime (MIDPO) were synthesized. Corrosion inhibiting ability of these compounds in 1 M HCl was studied using weight loss study, potentiodynamic polarization measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, XRD and SEM with EDS measurements. Weight loss studies revealed that all the three oximes are good corrosion inhibitors. The order of inhibiting ability of these compounds is as follows: DDPO > EDPO > MINDO. Results of the polarization measurement showed that these inhibitors do not alter the mechanism of either hydrogen evolution or mild steel dissolution reaction, proving the mixed mode of inhibition. At constant acid concentration, increase of inhibitor concentration increased the charge transfer resistance (R ct ), complimented with decrease of double layer capacitance (C dl ), thereby indicating the increase of percentage inhibition efficiency. XRD and SEM with EDS analysis provided strong proof for the existence of inhibitor film over the mild steel surface.

To improve the corrosion resistance of Ni-P electroless coating, the KI was added in the electroless solution. The surface micrograph was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the corrosion resistance of Ni-P coatings in 3.5%NaCl solution was examined by polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The experimental results showed that KI reduced the amount of defects and the size of crystal grain of Ni-P coating, and the surface of Ni-P coating became more homogenous, smoother and compact by KI. In addition, the phosphorus content of Ni-P coating was increased by KI. These factors increased the ability to corrosion protection of Ni-P coating.

Water jet technology to slice carrots or salt treatment prior to slicing was studied to minimize the unappealing whitish tissue noted with carrot sticks. The water jet was a fine stream with 378,950 kPa force. Salt treatment consisted of immersing carrots in NaCl solution ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 M concentration for 3 to 20 hours. Subsequently, the carrots were sliced, stored at 5 C, and analyzed. Carrot sticks sliced with the water jet had a greater amount of white tissue than those sliced with a knife. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the water jet caused grooves on the cut surface, which exposed many layers of cells to dehydrate rapidly. The grooves probably can be minimized by increasing the speed of slicing. Salt treatments of 0.5 to 1.0 M concentration caused 3 to 10 percent weight loss when treated for 20 hours at 5 C or 3 hours at 20 C. Carrot sticks with increased weight loss had less whitish tissue and had an appearance of freshly cut sticks; however, the textural quality decreased.

A simple and environment friendly protocol has been developed for the synthesis of Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) supported on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with copper metal foil as reductant. The prepared AgNPs-rGO, nanocomposite was characterized by various analytical techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrochemical performance of the material has been evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The average crystallite size of AgNPs is found to be 32.34 nm. The application of prepared electrocatalyst (AgNPs-rGO) as a non-enzymatic sensor is examined through the modified electrode with the synthesized AgNPs-rGO. The sensor showed excellent performance toward H2O2 reduction with a sensitivity of 12.73 µA.cm-2.mM-1, with a linear dynamic range of 1.5 µM – 100 mM, and the detection limit of 1.90 µM (S/N = 3). Furthermore, the sensor displayed high sensitivity, reproducibility, stability and selectivity for the determination of H2O2. The results demonstrated that AgNPs-rGO has potential applications as sensing material for quantitative determination of H2O2.

The pure iron and aluminum powders were milled with 3[Formula: see text]wt.% and 7[Formula: see text]wt.% of alumina nanoparticles in planetary ball mill in order to produce iron aluminide by mechanical alloying technique. The resulting powder mixture was sintered after the formation of iron aluminide by spark plasma sintering (SPS) method to achieve specimens with the highest densification. SPS technique was utilized on specimens under the condition of 40[Formula: see text]MPa pressure at 950∘C for 5[Formula: see text]min. The microstructures were analyzed after sintering using scanning electron microscopy and EDS analysis. The results indicated that the aluminide iron phase has been produced at high purity. The sintered specimens were treated under hardness and density tests, and it was characterized that the specimen included 3[Formula: see text]wt.% of alumina nanoparticles had the highest microhardness. Likewise, it was revealed that the unreinforced sample had a maximum relative density. The wear behavior of specimens was performed at 600∘C. The results of weight loss showed after 1000[Formula: see text]m of wear test, the weight loss of unreinforced specimen was reduced up to 0.21[Formula: see text]g while the specimen with 3[Formula: see text]wt.% of alumina nanoparticle indicated the lowest weight loss about 0.02[Formula: see text]g. The worn surfaces were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy which indicated that the main wear mechanism at high temperature included adhesive wear and delamination.
