Two different methods for estimating the corrosion resistance of low alloy stainless steels are compared: critical pitting temperature according to a modified ASTM G150 with a low chloride concentration (0.1M), and pitting potentials from polarisation curv ...
Investigation of the microstructure, properties and biocompatibility of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy nitrided under glow discharge was performed. The microstructural analyses were carried out using light microscopy, X-ray diffraction, analytical scanning and transm ...
The electrochemical oxidation of 3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenylmethanol (piperonyl alcohol) was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Two electrochemical oxidation signals were found for piperonyl alcohol. T ...
The long term fixation of biomedical implants constitutes an issue in the clinical praxis. Implant fixation can be improved by functionalizing its surface. In fact, the tissue response around an implant is conditioned by its surface morphological and chemi ...
Project aim: optimised piezoresistive thick-film compositions, especially for low-temperature applications on aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, steel and glass ...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the barrier efficiency of a thick thermal spray deposit on the alpha-titanium alloy, Ti-5Al-2.4Sn against hydrogen penetration. Therefore, a duplex coating has been applied by plasma spraying using a Sulzer Metc ...
The chemical-mechanical polishing process (CMP) is an essential part of the production of integrated circuits. Metal to be polished in the CMP reacts with the oxidants from the aqueous suspension (slurry) and the passive film is formed on the metal surface ...
This work presents an investigation of the tribocorrosion of ruthenium in sulphuric acid solutions. The study was focused on the effect of the electrode potential on wear of ruthenium during sliding against an inert alumina ball in a reciprocating sliding ...
The chemical and electrochemical promotion of highly dispersed nanofilm Rh catalysts (dispersion: about 10 %, film thickness: 40 nm) has been investigated for the first time. To this end Rh metal was sputter-deposited, either on a purely ionic conductor (8 ...
A new generation of high power Li-ion batteries that avoid carbon as anodic material replacing it with the spinel Li4Ti5O12 has been studied in this work. For these new Li-ion cells new electrolyte compositions can be considered. The main work of this thes ...
