Most high load-bearing implants are metallic alloys which contain toxic chemical
components that might be released due to the corrosive environment of body fluids and load …

Sol–gel protective coatings have shown excellent chemical stability, oxidation control and
enhanced corrosion resistance for metal substrates. Further, the sol–gel method is an …

Sol–gel derived films exhibit a high potential as substitutes for the environmentally
unfriendly chromate metal-surface pre-treatment methods. Inorganic sol–gel derived films …

Graphene has unique characteristics associated with being a trend of nanomaterials for
manipulating the structure and improving the properties of materials for wide applications …

The corrosion resistance of sol–gel derived, organic–inorganic, silica-based hybrid coatings
with various amounts of organic content was studied. Hybrid sols were prepared by …

This is the first review that presents an outlook on sol-gel science's potential in different
