An integral non-intrusive electrochemical and in-situ optical technique for the study of the effectiveness of corrosion inhibition

This work investigates an integrated analysis of in-situ optical data and time-frequency information from electrochemical potential noise (EPN) data to study the effectiveness and durability of an anodic and cathodic corrosion inhibitor. Two different corrosion inhibiting species, cerium(III) (Ce(III)) and phytic acid (PHA), are tested on...

Simultaneous optical and electrochemical monitoring of the protective effect of functional surface healing agents

Encapsulation of reactive agents embedded within a matrix is the most studied concept to develop self-healing materials. The most common approaches employ either a single component with catalyst dispersed in the matrix or a single environment-reactive component for corrosion protection [1]. Recently an approach for corrosion protection based on...

Analysis of the alignment of a schlieren system for tele-operation

The schlleren observation technic[ue can be used in microgravity experiments. Alignment features for the gratings of a multiple source sharp focusing schlieren system have been analysed. Measurements have been performed to verify the theoretical predictions which show good agreement with the analysis results. The analysis allows for the...
