FEM modelling to predict spatiotemporally resolved water uptake in organic coatings: Experimental validation by odd random phase electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements

In this work, a new finite element modelling (FEM) approach is followed to model spatiotemporally resolved water uptake in organic coatings. To this aim, we start from a physical model, where not only Fickian diffusion of water is taken into account but also the adsorption/desorption reaction of water on the polymer matrix. Starting from a...

The use of odd random phase electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to study lithium-based corrosion inhibition by active protective coatings

In this work, the study of the time-dependent behaviour of lithium carbonate based inhibitor technology for the active corrosion protection of aluminium alloy 2024-T3 is presented. Odd random phase electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (ORP-EIS) is selected as the electrochemical tool to study the corrosion protective properties of a model...

An in situ spectro-electrochemical monitoring of aqueous effects on polymer/metal oxide interfaces

A spectro-electrochemical setup of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in the Kretschmann geometry and odd random phase multisine electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (ORP EIS) is applied to in situ monitor the effect of an aqueous electrolyte on the polymer/metal oxide interface. The interfacial interactions of an ultrathin...
