(author), Terryn, H.A. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author)The bonding properties of zirconium- and titanium-based conversion coatings were evaluated using model conversion solutions of H<sub>2</sub>ZrF<sub>6</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>TiF<sub>6</sub> with addition of various organic additives (PAA, PVA, PVP). Macroscopic testing techniques such as contact angle and pull-off adhesion measurements were...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
