Self-Healing Corrosion Protective Sol-Gel Coatings

Inspired by the state of the art and the recent advances in the field of self-healing corrosion protective coatings, the thesis entitled “Self-healing corrosion protective sol-gel coatings” addresses novel routes to self-healing corrosion protective sol-gel coatings via extrinsic and intrinsic healing approaches. The employed approaches aim at...

On the healing mechanism of sol-gel derived hybrid materials containing dynamic di-sulfide bonds

Sol-gel technology is increasingly being used in coatings for corrosion protection and adhesion improvement. So far, the self-healing concept in sol-gel coatings has only been approached from extrinsic healing perspective (i.e. use of nano and micro carriers of corrosion inhibitors) [1]. Despite the benefits of this approach, the damaged area...

Towards H2 selective porous inorganic membranes: Pore size control through combined Sol-Gel and Atomic Layer Deposition Processes

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) can significantly contribute to the reduction of the emission of the greenhouse gas CO2. Capture by means of CO2 sorption or membrane-based separation processes is a promising way for achieving decarbonization of fuel or flue gas cleaning. In the field of separation and also purification of hydrogen, membrane...
