Corrosion studies of stainless steel protected by a TiO2 thin film deposited on a sulfonate-functionalized self-assembled monolayer

Influence of the annealing temperature and metal salt precursor on the structural characteristics and anti-corrosion barrier effect of CeO2 sol–gel protective coatings of carbon steel

“…Ceramic coatings synthesized from the sol-gel technique are environment friendly and have received considerable attention for metal and alloy corrosion protection [8]. Many efforts have been made through several ceramic sol-gel coatings to achieve steel corrosion protection [9][10][11][12].…”

Synthesis and evaluation of corrosion resistance of molybdate-based conversion coatings on electroplated zinc

“…Moreover, single colloid particles of SiO 2 can fill in the interspace of conversion coating and make the passive film more compact. It has been widely reported that the TiO 2 coating provides corrosion protection for stainless steel in chloride containing media [16,17]. For Mo-Si-Ti-Zn system, the mixed Ti-O-Si bond may be present, which can further enhance the compactness of the passive film [18].…”

Siloxane-based thin films for corrosion protection of stainless steel in chloride media

“…Further, recently we have described the use of SiO 2 -SAM to anchor TiO 2 for stainless steel protection [29]. It has also been reported that a compact SiO 2 layer can be created by ''burning off'' an OTMS monolayer [40,41].…”

“…For example, an alkylthiol monolayer is known to be effective in blocking electrochemical processes on copper surfaces [19,[23][24][25][26][27]. However, on rough surfaces like stainless steel with its natural corrosion resistance (i.e., the Cr 2 O 3 passive layer), SAMs are typically not completely pore-free [28][29][30]. In order for SAM protection to be truly effective on stainless steel, it should protect not only against general corrosion, but also against pitting corrosion.…”
