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 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.

Scanning electron microscopy of fish scales has facilitated the application of micro-structures to systematics. Electron microscopy studies have added more information on the structure of the scale and the associated cells, many problems still remain unsolved, because of our incomplete knowledge of the process of calcification. One of the main purposes of these studies has been to study the histology, histochemistry, and ultrastructure of both calcified and decalcified scales, and associated cells, and to obtain more information on the mechanism of calcification in the scales. The study of a calcified scale with the electron microscope is complicated by the difficulty in sectioning this material because of the close association of very hard tissue with very soft tissues. Sections often shatter and blemishes are difficult to avoid. Therefore the aim of this study is firstly to develop techniques for the preparation of cross sections of fish scales for scanning electron microscopy and secondly the application of these techniques for the determination of the structures and calcification of fish scales.

Sodium alginate based films containing turmeric oil (TEO) at different concentrations (1, 2 and 3%) were developed. The film with no TEO was used as control. Incorporation of TEO had the effects on the film properties. With increasing TEO concentrations, thickness, elongation at break, permeability of oxygen and water vapor of the films significantly (p ≤ 0.05) increased. Whereas moisture content, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity significantly (p ≤ 0.05) decreased. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed more numerous pores and rougher surface of the antifungal films than the control film.

A nodule containing the cranium of a deepwater sculpin, Myoxocephalus thompsoni (Girard), was discovered in Pleistocene Champlain Sea deposits at Green Creek, 10 km east of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and represents the first fossil reported for the species. It provides an additional basis for refuting derivation of the species from a post-Wisconsin marine submergence and suggests an origin at the beginning of the Wisconsin or earlier. Habitat preferences of the species favour an oligotrophic lacustrine environment with bottom summer temperatures below 8 °C in the Champlain Sea or nearby lake basin. The head length of the fossil is 28 mm, the estimated standard length 86 mm. Use of a longwave ultraviolet lamp with the fossil improved contrast between the bones and the clay matrix in photographs. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of bone in the fossil failed to detect the presence of strontium.

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.

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.
