Engineers at ETH Zurich have developed a versatile new material that should help in the ongoing battle against corrosion for buildings and vehicles. The polymer coating not only protects against corrosion, but highlights cracks as they form, automatica… Continue reading New anti-corrosion polymer highlights damage, self-heals and is recyclable
As useful as steel is, its main weakness may be its vulnerability to corrosion. Researchers in Korea have now developed a new alloy coating that boosts steel’s resistance to rust, by adding a simple extra step in the surface treatment.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading New alloy coating builds an inner shield to stop steel rusting

Scientists at Rice University have cooked up a new alloy with a unique and diverse set of attributes that could prove highly effective at protecting steel from corrosion. The novel coating not only prevented rusting in submerged slabs of common steel, … Continue reading Flexible alloy prevents steel corrosion and repairs itself when damaged
Graphene, the highly-useful material consisting of a one-atom-thick sheet of linked carbon atoms, has already been shown to keep steel from rusting. Soon, though, it could also be used to stop bacteria from corroding metal pipes.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Graphene shown to protect pipes from bacterial corrosion
