Corrosion degradation is detrimental to metal structures as it shortens their lifetime and
leads to huge economic losses and unexpected disasters. Therefore, the detection and …

In the last decade, the development of high-efficiency electrolytes based on polymeric
materials has drawn increasing attention. Polysaccharides are widespread biopolymers with …

It is clear that the corrosion resistance of carbon steels decreases as cold working amount
increases, but for austenitic stainless steels, the relation between cold-working and …

Electrochemical probes and sensors have been developed to detect and monitor
atmospheric corrosion of metallic materials in the past 40 decades. Depending on the …

Electrochemical techniques, such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), are
widely used for corrosion studies. However, their applicability to studies on metallic cultural …

Tarnishing is produced by reaction of silver with gaseous reduced sulphur compounds from
atmospheric pollution. It induces the formation of Ag 2 S crystals which produce a dark …

A ready-to-use electrochemical sensor offering the simplicity and portability for on-site
analysis is currently in demand. Herein, we first demonstrated a new ready-to-use …

The present paper presents pioneering results about the use of the electrochemical noise
(EN) technique to study corrosion of metal surfaces of complex geometry in a gel electrolyte …

Reinforced concrete has been employed worldwide as a leading building material for public
and private structures as well as in modern sculptural art. Although the unrivalled …

This paper presents results on the protective properties of different coatings over metals
representative of those found in scientific–technical heritage collections. An examination of …
