Iron is well-known for rusting, but this doesn't just happen on contact with oxygen and water. Some bacteria are also able to able to decompose iron anaerobically in a process referred to as ...

Right: uncoated iron. Left: coated iron. Both shown after exposure to rust-promoting conditions. Credit: Linoy Amar Researchers have developed a highly effective dual-layer coating that provides 99.6% ...

A new dual-layer coating has been developed that offers 99.6% protection against iron corrosion. Iron gives modern infrastructure strength, from soaring skyscrapers to vital bridges. However, a ...

This is the final installment of a four-part series by Brad Buecker, Buecker & Associates. Catch up with parts 1, 2 and 3 here. An issue that became readily apparent when researchers began ...

As described in Chapter 2, metallic corrosion involves oxidation (anodic) and reduction (cathodic) half-cell reactions, where the metal oxidation reaction is the anodic reaction, and the reduction of ...

Researchers have developed a highly effective dual-layer coating that provides 99.6% protection against iron corrosion. The breakthrough combines a thin molecular primer with a durable polymer layer, ...
