Summary
The degeneration of materials has become increasingly prominent in petroleum, biomedicine industries, etc. One efficient approach is to apply coating and film to protect the native material. However, most of the derivatives are toxic, and it can cause dizziness, insomnia, or even liver damage to human. In view of the shortcomings, scientists and researchers have tried to exploit green and environmental-friendly materials as the film to protect the native materials. In the current state-of-art, green and environmental-friendly film are growing tremendously because of their advantageous to reduce the potentially negative impact to nature and human being. So, the editor intended for the original research and review articles in the field of green coating and film for corrosion protection in this special issue.

Abstract Titanium dioxide (TiO
2) was recently employed to apply onto road surfaces to degrade the harmful compounds from vehicle emissions. However, it remains a challenging task to find a highly compatible pavement type for TiO
2 application to achieve durable and efficient air-purifying performance. This study proposed to coat TiO
2 particles onto semi-flexible pavement surface and tried to investigate an optimum coating method. Three coating methods, including direct mixing TiO
2 (MT) with asphalt mixture, spraying dry TiO
2 (ST) coating and water-solution-based TiO
2 (WT) coating on semi-flexible pavement surface. To achieve this objective, semi-flexible samples were prepared to evaluate and compare the performances…

Abstract A novel and effective water-soluble aldehydes (
β-HA) as corrosion inhibitor was synthesized for N80 steel corrosion in 15% HCl solution, and the corrosion inhibition performance was evaluated by using weight loss, electrochemical measurements, scanning electron microscope (SEM), quantum chemical calculation and molecular
dynamics simulation (MDS). The results show that synthesized
β-HA showed excellent corrosion performance
compared with MHB and PE for carbon steel in 15% HCl solution compared with MHB and PE, and the inhibition efficiency increased with increasing concentration of the inhibitor. The inhibition efficiency of
β-HA at
8 mmol/L reached the maximum value 94.08%. The inhibitor acted as…

The Effects of Different Post-Heat Treatments on Rolling Contact Fatigue Behaviors of Direct Laser Cladding Inconel 625 Coatings
Qiaoxin Zhang, Rui Chen, Ding Jin, Chen Zhou, Xuewu Li
Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.9, No.1, pp. 129-144, 2021, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2021.011596

Green Coating and Film for Degeneration Protection)
Abstract In this paper, the microstructures and rolling contact fatigue behaviors
of laser cladding Inconel 625 coatings with or without post-heat treatments were
analyzed. The results revealed that the fatigue resistance of the laser cladding
coating after any post-heat treatment was worse than that of the as-deposited coating. First, through the finite element analysis, the distribution of stress along the
thickness direction of the coating was obtained, and it was concluded that the
bonding interface between the coating and the matrix had little effect on the fatigue properties of the coating. Then X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) and energy…

Abstract The aim of this study is to explore the heterogeneous ice nucleation
behavior based on controllable micro-cubic array structure surfaces from the statistic perspective. To this end, we firstly constructed a group of micro-cubic array
structures on silicon substrates by a selective plasma etching technique. After
grafting low-free-energy substance, the as-constructed micro-cubic array structure
surfaces exhibited higher non-wettability with the water contact angle being up to
150°. On this basis, 500 cycles of freezing and melting processes were accurately
recorded to analyze the instantaneous ice nucleation behavior according to the statistical results of freezing temperature. As a consequence, the statistical…

Abstract The adsorption process of new nicotinic derivatives on Fe (110) surface
and diffusion of corrosive particles in inhibition film were studied by quantum
chemistry and molecular dynamics simulation, and inhibition mechanism of
inhibitor was discussed. The results indicated that the main active sites of three
inhibitors are located in N atoms on the five membered ring. The inhibitor
YM-1 has the strongest activity of electrophilic reaction, and the adsorption process of inhibitor molecules is polycentric chemisorption. The adsorption energy
for inhibitors followed the order of YM-1 > YM-2 > YM-3. The adsorption film
YM-1 more effectively impedes the diffusion and…
