Summary: The study synthesized and characterized Ethelynediamine modified graphene oxide covalently functionalized with poly(p-phenylenediamine) nanofiller, and their composites with safflower oil polyurethane were prepared as coatings on carbon steel. Under harsh acidic environments, the MGO-PPPDA/PU composite coating exhibited significantly enhanced corrosion protection ability compared to MGO/PU and PPPDA/PU nanocomposite coatings, as revealed by various corrosion testing techniques.

Summary: This study presents an environmentally friendly fabrication method of a bio-based waterborne polyester nanocomposite for corrosion protection of metal surfaces. The nanocomposite, reinforced with a cellulose nanofiber-reduced graphene oxide-zinc oxide nanohybrid, showed excellent anticorrosion activity and maintained transparency, mechanical toughness, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. The prepared thermosetting nanocomposites have enormous potential as sustainable anticorrosive coating materials.

Summary: Magnesium ferrite nanorods and magnesium ferrite/polythiophene (MgFe2O4/PTh) composites were fabricated using sol-gel and in-situ emulsion polymerization approaches to investigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding activity in the X-band region. The synergistic effect of magnesium ferrite nanorods and conducting PTh in the composites led to high shielding effectiveness, attributed to the high dielectric and magnetic loss, making them potentially useful as lightweight, high-performance EMI shielding materials.

Summary: The study investigated the effect of Indium-Manganese substitution on the structural, electrical, and dielectric properties of hexaferrites prepared using the sol-gel auto combustion method. It was found that the lattice constant c decreased and grain size reduced with increasing In-Mn substitution concentration. Improved dielectric properties make these materials useful for applications in inductors, transformers, isolators, and magnetic memory devices.
