Nanocellulose is a natural polymer containing abundant hydroxyl groups which can create
the network of hydrogen bonds between intra-and inter-molecular cellulose chains and also …

Sol–gel pretreatments and coatings are an important class of passive coatings primarily
used to increase adhesion of subsequent layers to metallic substrates herby improving the …

Small polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecules were grafted on ceramic γ-alumina membranes,
by making use of organo-alkoxysilanes or organo-phosphonic acids as linking groups. It …

There is great potential to combine bioresource and recycled materials with nanotechnology
for industrial and environmental applications. In a novel approach, silver (Ag) nanoparticles …

In this work, the wettability of the galvannealed surface pretreated with the hybrid silane
APTES/GPTMS film was measured by sessile drop method. The coatings were applied on …

The tinplate, used in the packaging sector and formed from a metal substrate, comprises a
steel base which has undergone a surface treatment to produce a thin layer of FeSn2, a tin …

Siloxane-pHEMA hybrid coatings with the addition of calcium chloride and calcium sulfate
during the synthesis of the material were produced by the sol–gel method and deposited on …

Coatings developed through sol-gel method is presented as an interesting replacement to
chromium coating. Sol-gel method present advantages as high purity and excellent …

Nanocellulose (NC) was obtained from palm oil rachis by combination of a chemical
explosion method and mechanical rupture, which was functionalized with cholic acid (AC) …

Topography observation of the nanoscale passivation film on tinplate using a scanning
electron microscope and an electro-optical surface profilometer showed that it was difficult to …
