Summary: This study evaluated the influence of the proportion of poly (bisphenol-A-co-epichlorhydrin) resin (DGEBA) to the curing agent diethylenetriamine (DETA) on the properties of epoxy-silica nanocomposites. The results showed that coatings with a DETA to DGEBA ratio of 0.4 exhibited the best long-term corrosion protection, attributed to the presence of larger silica nanodomains as fillers in the cross-linked epoxy matrix, which enhanced the diffusion barrier.

Summary: The study evaluated the synergistic effect of anodic film and hybrid sol-gel coating with corrosion inhibitors on enhancing barrier and active corrosion protection of aluminium alloy 2024-T3. The addition of Li- and Ce-based salts into the hybrid sol-gel formulation has shown to provide active corrosion protection. Ce-doped sol-gel coating exhibited less visual corrosion and higher active corrosion protection compared to the Li-containing one during the long-term immersion test in a 0.5 mol.L-1 NaCl solution.

Summary: This paper presents indirect methods to define the change in the rates of hydrolysis and condensation reactions of a silica oxide network. Different solvents used in the reaction environment were found to have a significant impact on the reaction rates and functional properties of the obtained silica coatings. The morphology and structure changes were investigated using various characterization techniques. The results showed that the coatings synthesized in a methanol environment had a higher polarization resistance, while the ethanol-based coatings had the greatest thickness. The acetone-based coatings exhibited higher detachment force. Propanol and butanol contributed to defects and decreased protection properties, particularly in coatings based on propanol. No statistically significant influence of solvents was observed on the thickness of coatings prepared with butanol or acetone.

Summary: This work evaluates the electrochemical behavior and morphological characterization of a system consisting of a cerium conversion layer, a hybrid sol-gel coating, and the two coatings applied sequentially (duplex) for corrosion protection of WE43 Mg alloy. Different characterization techniques showed that the previous application of the conversion coating improved the surface coverage by the hybrid coating. Fitting impedance diagrams with electrical equivalent circuits allowed proposing a physical model for the coating, demonstrating its interaction with the porous Mg oxide/hydroxide layer. Self-healing properties of the duplex coating were also revealed.

Summary: Benzotriazole (BTA) inhibitor was coated in mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) using tannic acid complex (TAC) deposition, forming a pH control release valve for sensitive feedback and control of BTA release. By adding MSNs-BTA@TAC to an organic-inorganic composite coating, a self-healing coating with pH feedback sensitivity and corrosion compensation function was prepared. The results showed significant self-healing effect of the coating after soaking in simulated body fluids, with a increase in low-frequency impedance modulus.

Summary: Sol-gel technology was employed in this study to produce organic-inorganic hybrid coatings on AISI 1045 carbon steel for corrosion protection. The coatings were prepared using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate precursors. Thermal treatment of the coatings resulted in decreased thickness and improved scratch resistance. Electrochemical measurements showed that the coatings treated at 100 degrees C exhibited higher polarization resistance and less aggressive corrosion compared to higher temperature treatments.

Summary: The performance of finely dispersed epsilon-MnO2 over two different self-organized TiO2 nanotubes (Ti/TiO2-NT) substrates used as templates was assessed. The formation of Ti(III)/oxygen vacancies was induced by a cathodic treatment (CT). The highest specific capacitance values were obtained when a CT was applied regardless of the substrate used. Furthermore, the hydroxylated surface produced during CT led to a decrease in charge transfer resistance and an increase in the TiO2-NT@MnO2 film conductivity.

Summary: An environmentally friendly strategy for recycling sewage sludge is proposed using a magnetic material as a catalyst in the photo-Fenton process. The catalyst showed no apparent alteration of surface after the process and maintained catalytic activity for at least 4 cycles. Comparison of degradation of pollutants in sewage treatment plant effluents under artificial UV and solar irradiation showed promising results for the use of SLC-600 as a low-cost catalyst in the photo-Fenton process.

Summary: Depending on its composition, a TPU/PCL blend has potential for biomedical applications. Blends of different TPU/PCL ratios and composites with hydroxyapatite (HA) were studied. The blends showed intermediate properties between pure TPU and PCL, while the addition of HA improved the material's strength. The 75TPU/25PCL blend demonstrated the best shape memory performance at temperatures below 50 degrees C. In vitro tests showed good biocompatibility for all blends, with the composite containing 10 wt% HA from the 75TPU/25PCL blend promoting greater cell proliferation.
