Research experience:
Studies on thermodynamics and mechanism of the effect of corrosion inhibitors (organic, inorganic and green natural compounds) on the dissolution of metals in different aqueous (neutral, acid, alkaline), nonaqueous and vapor media using various techniques such as: Potentioscan, Gasometry, Weight Loss, Transfer Function Analyzer, Zero Resistance Ammetry, Spectrophotometry, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Auger Electron Spectroscopy techniques.
Preparation, developing and testing of a new anticorrosive paints containing new friendly environmentally natural inhibitors.
Assessment of the corrosion protection by paint.
Utilization of polymeric materials for packaging of electronics, magnetic and optical devices.
Investigations on the corrosion behavior of biomaterials alloys.
Improvement of the corrosion resistance of electroplated amorphous alloys.
Electrochemical studies on environmentally friendly antiscalents.
Conversion coating for steel and aluminum metals.
Studies on the effect of atmospheric pollutants (both as gaseous and aqueous species) on degradation of building materials to enable the conservation of historic building and monuments from further environmental degradation.
