TL;DR: In this article, the surface of the nanoparticles was treated with amino propyl trimethoxy silane (APS) to achieve proper dispersion of nanoparticles in the epoxy-based coating and making possible chemical interactions between nanoparticles and polymeric coating.

TL;DR: Different modes of scanning electrochemical mapping (SECM) such as surface generation/tip collection (SG/TC), amperometry, AC-SECM and potentiometry were employed to characterize the active/passive domains, hydrogen gas (H2) evolution and local pH on a corroding surface of AZ31 in simulated biological fluid (SBF) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The effect of nano-silica particles on the protective properties of polyurethane (PU) coatings has been investigated in this article, where nano silica was incorporated at different levels into acrylic polyol/HDI polyisocyanate polyurethsane matrix and cured at three different temperatures (20 °C, 70 °C and 110 °C).

TL;DR: Outstanding protection of Cu by high-quality boron nitride nanofilm (BNNF) 1-2 atomic layers thick in salt water is observed, while defective BNNF accelerates the reaction of Cu toward water.

TL;DR: Tantalum coating on Ti6Al4V substrate was prepared by sputtering and the mechanical and corrosion performance of the tantalum coating was investigated as discussed by the authors, where a buffer layer of titanium was first deposited on the substrate in a hope to improve the film adhesion.
