Self assembled monolayers (SAMs) of n-alkanethiols of different chain length (4, 6, 8, 12,
and 18 carbons in the chain) have been explored as corrosion inhibitors for copper exposed …

The corrosion rate of copper and bronze Cu-8 wt.% Sn increased rapidly when the
concentration of formic or acetic acid in air reached about 300 ppb at 80% relative humidity …

Corrosion effects on copper exposed in a humid atmosphere with formic acid (mimicking
indoor corrosion) have been explored through successive increase in surface lateral …

Corrosion in indoor atmospheric environments is often triggered by carboxylic acids,
especially at higher relative humidity. Micro-galvanic effects can lead to severe corrosion …

In this work, the corrosion behavior of copper in a simulated organic acid environment
containing formic acid and acetic acid was investigated by electrochemical testing and …

Past attempts to develop models that predict atmospheric corrosion rates used statistical
regression,“power-law”, or other approaches that result in linear or simple nonlinear …

Atmospheric corrosion indoors is of great practical importance for the degradation of metals,
for example in electronics, military equipment, and cultural heritage items. It involves a wide …

Copper (Cu) has been utilised by humans for millenniums and has become an
indispensable metal in modern industry and in our infrastructure. However, corrosion, as a …

Copper and copper-based alloys are commonly used in both ancient and modern
architecture. This requires an in-depth fundamental and applied understanding on their …

With the advancement and accessibility of local probing techniques that can operate at the
submicron scale it has become possible to analyse the local corrosion properties of …
