(author)The sol-gel synthesis process is a versatile method used to produce a wide diversity of materials and is being increasingly used as a surface modification method to alter porosity, wettability, catalytic activity, biocompatibility and corrosion performance of underlying substrates. Silane sol–gel films deposited on aluminium and aluminium...review 2021

Marques, Ana C. (author), Mocanu, Alexandra (author), Tomić, Nataša Z. (author), Balos, Sebastian (author), Stammen, Elisabeth (author), Lundevall, Asa (author), Abrahami, Shoshan T. (author), Günther, Roman (author), de Kok, John M.M. (author), Teixeira De Freitas, S. (author)Using adhesives for connection technology has many benefits. It is cost-efficient, fast, and allows homogeneous stress distribution between the bonded surfaces. This paper gives an overview on the current state of knowledge regarding the technologically important area of adhesive materials, as well as on emergent related technologies. It is...review 2020

van Dam, J.P.B. (author), Abrahami, S.T. (author), Yilmaz, A. (author), Gonzalez Garcia, Y. (author), Terryn, H.A. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author)This work focuses on the effect of surface roughness and surface chemistry on the initial adhesion strength and corrosive de-adhesion properties of adhesive bonds. The adherend used in this study is a S690 low-alloy steel whereas the adhesive is a 2-component epoxy-amine adhesive (Araldite 2015). The steel surface is subjected to different...journal article 2020

(author)Nanoporous anodic aluminum oxides (AAOs) are used as templates in various technological applications, including load-bearing aircraft structures. But in spite of their popularity, the important aspects that control their (dis-)bonding to an organic coating are not fully understood. To study the mechanisms behind the negative effect of fluorides...journal article 2018

Abrahami, S.T. (author), de Kok, John M.M. (author), Terryn, H.A. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author)For more than six decades, chromic acid anodizing (CAA) has been the central process in the surface pre-treatment of aluminum for adhesively bonded aircraft structures. Unfortunately, this electrolyte contains hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), a compound known for its toxicity and carcinogenic properties. To comply with the new strict...journal article 2017

Abrahami, S.T. (author)For more than six decades, chromic acid anodizing (CAA) has been the central process in the surface pre-treatment of aluminium for adhesively bonded aircraft structures in Europe. Unfortunately, this electrolyte contains hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), a compound known for its toxicity and carcinogenic properties. The approaching ban on the use of...doctoral thesis 2016
