This review discusses the necessity of surface modification to effectively use fibre-reinforced
polymers (FRPs) as reinforcements for seawater and sea sand concrete (SWSSC). FRPs …

The devastating economic impact of corrosion necessitates research into suitable corrosion
control techniques. An important precursor to the development of such control methods is a …

This paper presents a method for producing VTMS/HAp/VTMS/VTMS multilayer coatings on
a Grade 2 titanium substrate and characterizes their structure and functional properties. Two …

Organic coatings as a physical barrier are applied on metallic substrates to suppress the
metal deterioration against corrosive media. When the coatings are scratched or damaged …

The application of paints is one of the most used protection methods for metals, but the loss
of adhesion of the paint film is a commonly observed failure. In order to avoid this …
