This study aims on antibacterial and corrosion characterization of a complex ceramic coating based on titania (TiO2) nanotubes, hydroxyapatite (HA) and single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), in physiological environment. Hybrid materials structure was identified by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and their surface analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and contact angle analysis. The most hydrophilic sample was the one with TiO2-HA coating. The electrochemical behavior of materials has been investigated in Ringer solution performing potentiodiynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Antibacterial properties of coatings were determined by contact method using two types of strains, one of them Staphylococus aureus (S. aureus) is a positive gram bacteria and another one Pseudomonas aureoginosa (P. aureoginosa) a negative gram bacteria. The corrosion rates are in the perfect stable domain of corrosion resistance and no breakdown phenomena were observed. A range of stability in tested bioliquid has been established from electrochemical and ICP-MS measurements. TiO2-HA-SWCNTs coating has the best corrosion resistance and the best barrier properties for ions release. Antibacterial effect of TiO2-HA-SWCNTs coating seems to be synergistic being higher compared to TiO2 nanotubes and TiO2-HA coating.

A duplex coating was formed under potentiostatic conditions on magnesium alloy AZ91D in order to improve its corrosion resistance in a simulated physiological environment. The first layer was formed by anodization at low potentials in molybdate solution. The outer layer was a PPy film electrosynthesized in sodium salicylate solution. The conditions of the formation were determined to obtain a layer with globular morphology. The bilayer was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The corrosion protection properties of the coatings were examined in Ringer solution by monitoring the open circuit potential (OCP), polarization techniques, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The obtained results showed that the bilayer improves the corrosion resistance of the substrate. Moreover, the duplex coating presented better anticorrosive properties than a single PPy film. Afterwards, the bilayer was modified by cementation of silver ions from a solution containing AgNO3. The modified electrode exhibited good antibacterial properties.

Epoxy coating formulations containing 1%, 3%, and 5% SiO2 nanoparticles were produced and applied on a mild steel substrate to achieve the objective of high performance corrosion resistance. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique was employed to measure the anticorrosive properties of coatings. The corrosion tests were performed by exposing the coated samples in a solution of 3.5% NaCl for different periods of time, varied from 1 h and up to 30 days. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses revealed the presence of nanoparticles in the final cured samples. Establishing the incorporation of the nanoparticles in the coating formulations was confirmed by employing both of XRD and FT-IR techniques. The FT-IR spectra have proved to be satisfactory indicating that there was a complete reaction between the epoxy resin with the hardener. EIS measurements confirmed that the presence and the increase of SiO2 nanoparticles greatly improved the corrosion resistance of the epoxy coating. The highest corrosion resistance for the coatings was obtained for the formulation with 5% SiO2 nanoparticles content, particularly with prolonging the immersion time to 30 days.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to study the corrosion resistance of water-based sol-gel coatings containing titania nanoparticles doped with organic inhibitors for corrosion protection of AA2024 alloy. Design/methodology/approach – The coatings were obtained using tetraethylorthosilicate, 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, titanium (IV) tetrapropoxide and poly(ethylene imine) polymer as cross-linking agents. As corrosions inhibitors, 2-mercaptobenzoxazole and salicylaldoxime were incorporated into the sol-gel for the improvement of the corrosion resistance. The corrosion protection performance of coatings was studied using the potentiodynamic scan and the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. Atomic force microscopy was used to investigate surface morphology of the coatings. Findings – The results indicated that doping the sol-gel coatings with inhibitors leads to improvement of the corrosion protection. The comparison of doped coatings confirmed that corrosion protection performance of the sol-gel coatings doped with 2-mercaptobenzoxazole was better than for the sol-gel coatings doped with salicylaldoxime. Also the EIS results verified self-healing effects for the sol-gel coatings doped with 2-mercaptobenzoxazole. Originality/value – This paper indicates 2-mercaptobenzoxazole and salicylaldoxime can be added as corrosion inhibitors to sol-gel coatings to improve their corrosion protective properties for AA2024 alloy.

Purpose This paper aims to analyze the corrosion behavior in Ringer solution of six commercially used Ni-based alloys that are present and commonly used as metallic biomaterials. Design/methodology/approach The specimens were received in the form of cylindrical ingots and were cut to get five samples of each brand with a cylindrical shape of 2 mm height to conduct the study. In this scientific research, the following techniques were used: open circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization studies, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Findings The study findings revealed the passivation tendency of the different specimens. Additionally, when the materials were compared, it was discovered that the decisive factor for high corrosion resistance was the chromium concentration. However, with similar chromium content, the stronger concentration in molybdenum increased the resistance. According to the results obtained in this investigation, the biological safety of the dental materials studied in Ringer solution was considered very high for specimens 1 and 2, and adequate for the other samples. Originality/value Metal alloys used as biomaterials in contact with the human body should be deeply investigated to make sure they are biocompatible and do not cause any harm. The corrosion resistance of an alloy is the most important characteristic for its biological safety, as all problems arise because of the corrosion process. There is scarce investigation in these Ni-based dental biomaterials, and none found in these commercially used dental materials in Ringer solution.

Calcium phosphate (CaPh) coatings are considered promising surface treatments for Mg-based implants. Normally, the phase conversion process of CaPh compounds occurs during immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) and allows the easy penetration of a corrosive medium. To solve the issue, pre-treatment is often performed, creating an effective barrier that further improves the corrosion resistance of the underlying Mg. In the present work three pre-treatments including hydrothermal treatment, anodization, and plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) were performed on pure Mg prior to CaPh deposition. Results indicated that the composition, morphology, and thickness of the CaPh coatings were strongly influenced by the pre-treatments. Dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) was formed on PEO surface, whilst DCPD and hydroxyapatite (HA) were deposited on hydrothermally prepared and anodized surfaces. HA could be deposited on the studied samples during immersion in SBF. The electrochemical impedance spectrum indicated that CaPh coating combined with PEO pre-treatment had the highest corrosion resistance at 120 h due to the superior barrier properties conferred by the PEO layer.

The aim of this work was to monitor the corrosion rate of the Mg72Zn24Ca4 and Zn87Mg9Ca4 alloys. The purity of the alloying elements was 99.9%. The melt process was carried out in an induction furnace. The melting process took place under the cover of an inert gas (argon). The copper form was flooded by liquid alloy. Then, in order to obtain ribbons, the cast alloy, in rod shape, was re-melted on the melt spinning machine. The corrosion resistance of both alloys has been determined on the basis of the following experiments: measurements of the evolution of OCP (open circuit potential), LSV (linear sweep voltamperometry) and EIS (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy). All corrosion tests were carried out in Ringer’s solution at 37 °C and pH 7.2. The corrosion tests have revealed that the zinc alloy, Zn87Mg9Ca4, exhibits significantly higher corrosion resistance in the Ringer solution compared to the magnesium alloy, Mg72Zn24Ca4. Moreover, it has been shown that the cathodic reaction proceeds faster on the surface of ribbons. EIS measurements show that the dissolution of Mg alloy proceeds with two steps: transfer of Mg2+ ions to the Ringer solution and then the formation of the corrosion products, which are deposited on the surface of magnesium alloy. It has been revealed, too, that for both bulk materials, diffusion of chloride ions through the corrosion product’s layer takes place.

In this work, CeMgAl-LDHs protective thin films were developed directly on the anodized aluminum surface, and on the “hot water-sealed” anodized aluminum specimens. The synthesized coatings were investigated by SEM-EDS and XRD and through long-term electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) spectra. The growth of CeMgAl-LDHs into/onto the micropores/defects of anodized film was found to significantly improve the LDH barrier properties with delaying coating degradation compared to LDHs developed on the “hot water-sealed” surface. The unmodified LDHs “without cerium addition” were also developed to compare the influence of cerium on the structural and electrochemical properties of LDHs. It is also noteworthy that LDHs grown on the anodized surface provided dense and finer growth, while the addition of cerium ions was found to exhibit influential higher long-term corrosion resistance properties after the 1200 h immersion period.

In this work, various NiAl-LDH thin films, exhibiting specific surface morphologies, were developed directly on aluminum AA 6082 substrate to understand the two main characteristics of layered double hydroxide (LDH), i.e., ion-exchange behavior and barrier properties, which are found to have a significant influence on the LDH corrosion resistance properties. The as-prepared NiAl-LDH films were analyzed through the scanning electronic microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), while the corrosion behavior of the synthesized films was investigated by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic curves. The results indicated that NiAl-LDH microcrystals grow in various fashions, from porous relatively flat domains to well-developed platelet structure, with the variation of nickel nitrate to ammonium nitrate salts molar ratios. The LDH structure is observed in all cases and is found to cover the aluminum surface uniformly in the lamellar order. All the developed NiAl-LDHs are found to enhance the corrosion resistance of the aluminum substrate, specifically, a well-developed platelet structure is found to be more effective in chloride adsorptive and entrapment capabilities, which caused higher corrosion resistance compared to other developed NiAl-LDHs. The comparison of the synthesized NiAl-LDH morphologies on their ion-exchange capabilities, barrier effect and their combined effect on corrosion resistance properties is reported.

In this work, Cu–Sn–TiO2 composite coatings were electrochemically obtained from a sulfate bath containing 0–10 g/L of TiO2 nanoparticles. The effect of TiO2 particles on kinetics of cathodic electrodeposition has been studied by linear sweep voltammetry and chronopotentiometry. As compared to the Cu–Sn alloy, the Cu–Sn–TiO2 composite coatings show rougher surfaces with TiO2 agglomerates embedded in the metal matrix. The highest average amount of included TiO2 is 1.7 wt.%, in the case of the bath containing 5 g/L thereof. Composite coatings showed significantly improved antibacterial properties towards E. coli ATCC 8739 bacteria as compared to the Cu–Sn coatings of the same composition. Such improvement has been connected with the corrosion resistance of the composites studied by linear polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In the bacterial media and 3% NaCl solutions, Cu–Sn–TiO2 composite coatings have lower corrosion resistance as compared to Cu–Sn alloys, which is caused by the nonuniformity of the surface.

The electrochemically-assisted modification of the N-austenitic stainless steel (ASS N25) surface was successfully employed to improve barrier properties of the passive film in a chloride containing solution. The chemical composition, electronic and barrier properties of the surface film before and after the electrochemical treatment were examined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Electrochemical measurements were carried out in a corrosion testing solution. The excellent corrosion resistance (both pitting and general) of the N-steel?s modified surface was discussed according to the Mott-Schottky analysis of the interfacial capacitance of the space charge layer and EIS results. The conductivity change of the surface film from an n- to a p-type in the pitting susceptible region was explained using the XPS analysis and semiconducting properties of the film.
