Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetrical Schiff bases as inhibitors of mild steel corrosion in sulphuric acid media
TL;DR: In this paper, two newly synthesised Schiff bases [H2A3, N,N′-ortho-phenylene(salicylaldimine-acetylacetone imine) and H2A4 were studied as inhibitors for the corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 mol dm-3 sulphuric acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functionalization of Thioctic Acid-Capped Gold Nanoparticles for Specific Immobilization of Histidine-Tagged Proteins
TL;DR: The specific immobilization has been demonstrated for the cases of a genetically engineered horseradish peroxidase and ferredoxin-NADP(+) reductase, confirming the attachment of the fully functional proteins to the Co(II)-terminated nanointerface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Covalent Modification of Graphene and Graphite Using Diazonium Chemistry: Tunable Grafting and Nanomanipulation

TL;DR: By careful selection of the reagents and optimizing reaction conditions, a high density of covalently grafted molecules is obtained, a result that is demonstrated in an unprecedented way by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) under ambient conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synergism and antagonism in mild steel corrosion inhibition by sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate and hexamethylenetetramine
TL;DR: In this article, the inhibition effects of sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate (SDBS) and hexamethylenetetramine (HA) on the corrosion of mild steel in sulphuric acid solution have been studied using weight loss, electrochemical impedance and Tafel polarisation measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Large Set of Newly Created Interspecific Saccharomyces Hybrids Increases Aromatic Diversity in Lager Beers
Stijn F. L. Mertens,Jan Steensels,Veerle Saels,Gert De Rouck,Guido Aerts,Kevin J. Verstrepen +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, 31 novel interspecific yeast hybrids were developed, resulting from large-scale robot-assisted selection and breeding between carefully selected strains of S. cerevisiae and S. eubayanus.
