Bioinspired nanocomposite coatings for corrosion resistance

This research project develops new nanocomposite metal/layered ceramic (MLC) coatings for corrosion protection on stainless steel and other metal substrates through electrochemical processing.

 

Film configurations for electrochemical enucleation-limited doping model and nanoindentation of hardness of  thin film nanocomposites showing 40% increase.

Zinc-Nickel alloys deposited from alkaline solutions

This work focuses on the electrochemical deposition of the γ-phase zinc-nickel alloy under mild alkaline conditions. The deposits obtained result in better coatings and more uniform grain size as well as improved corrosion resistance.
