Influence of SiC nanoparticles and saccharin on the structure and properties of electrodeposited Ni–Fe/SiC nanocomposite coatings

The kinetics of Ni–Co/SiC composite coatings electrodeposition

“…The most employed matrices have been nickel and its alloys and the incorporated reinforcements usually had been carbides, silicides, nitrides, metal powders and oxides. These coatings are extensively studied with the object of hardness and wear resistance amelioration, improving of anti-corrosion properties, impartation of self-lubrication characteristics and obtaining higher service temperatures [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. With the increasing availability of ever decreasing particle sizes, quite many scholars have investigated to greatest extent on incorporation of micron, submicron and nanoparticles in metallic matrices.…”

Effect of surfactant on the fabrication and characterization of Ni-P-CNT composite coatings

“…Better corrosion resistance of Ni-P-CNT coating compared to Ni-P coating can be attributed to the less effective metallic area prone to corrosion due to the presence of CNTs. Another reason for this improvement can be correlated to the filling of crevice, gaps and micro-holes of Ni-P coatings by CNTs [27][28][29]15]. Beside these facts, higher corrosion resistance of Ni- Fig.…”

Impact of Silicon Carbide Nanoparticles on Hatching and Survival of Soil Nematodes Caenorhabditis Elegans and Meloidogyne Incognita

“…The nematodes were cultured on nematode growth medium (NGM) which consists of 20 g/l agar, 2.5 g/l peptone, 5 mg/l cholesterol, 25 mM KPO 4 (KH 2 PO 4 and K 2 HPO 4) buffer, 51 mM NaCl and 1 mM MgSO 4 . A loopful of the bacteria E. coli strain OP50, obtained from the Caenorhabditis Genetics Centre, was added to the medium as a source of food for the nematode.…”
