Project description
This project focuses on the corrosion inhibition of copper alloys. More specifically we wish to develop a protective coating that is stable, easy to apply and remove and is aesthetically pleasing. The coating will be optimized, and characterized towards corrosion protection and other physical properties. Short and long term exposure of the environment on the coating will be evaluated using time-resolved synchrotron measurements.
