Iranian Researchers Produce Anticorrosive Nanocoatings
TEHRAN, Iran – Researchers from the University of Tehran are working on biocompatible anticorrosive coatings with nanometric thickness to increase corrosion resistance in metallic structures in various fields, including the petroleum, gas, petrochemical, automobile fabrication and marine industries.
Anticorrosive chromate coatings are highly toxic and, as such, have promoted researchers to look for biocompatible replacements to these coatings. One such proposal is the use of silane-based coatings that are placed on a metallic substrate as lining. The aim of this research was to improve the protective performance of silane coating as a lining coating.
