pH Responsive Polymer Blend Surfaces
Polymers, end-functionalised with carboxylic acid (COOH) groups do not normally segregate to film surfaces due to the high surface energy of these functionalities. However, we... -
Uncovering the tension-compression asymmetry of low stacking fault FCC alloys...
A certain type of alloys, with face-centered-cubic (FCC) structure and medium to low stacking fault energies (SFE), can trigger the formation of multiple twins (mechanical... -
Effect of temperature and strain mode on the strain partitioning and deformat...
Duplex stainless steels (DSS) are widely used in oil, nuclear and petrochemical industries due to their excellent mechanical and corrosion resistance properties. They are used... -
Organic Additives Adsorption at the Steel-Paint Interface and Its Effects on ...
Numerous additives have been added to paints and coatings to improve adhesion, and prohibit corrosion if the substrate is reactive to its surrounding environs. The adsorbates in...
