TL;DR: In this paper, a composite coating was produced via plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) with Ce salt sealing, on which layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were deposited via a hydrothermal treatment, and then modified by phytic acid (PA) via an ion exchange reaction.

TL;DR: It was found that the superhydrophobic surface was chemically stable toward acid, alkali, and heating, and it also exhibited high ultraviolet (UV) radiation resistance, indicating superior ability of adapting to outdoor environment.

TL;DR: In this article, the traditional gravimetric method can evaluate effectively the corrosion behavior of Mg alloys, and it is shown that the corrosion rate increases with relative humidity (RH) and concentrations of aggressive species such as chloride ions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors comprehensively review the passivating and biofouling behavior, as well as their mechanisms, for typical Ti alloys in various marine environments, and aim to help extend applications of Ti-alloys in extremely harsh marine conditions.
