Research activity

RESEARCH FIELDS

Represent molecular modeling and computer simulations of chemical carcinogenesis and microwave chemistry. They also include the study of kinetics and reaction’s mechanisms on the corroded metal surfaces in the systems, which have not been studied yet. Researches are focused on:

• chemical resistant steels in model solutions of aggressive media,
• organic corrosion inhibitors with emphasis on the use of PAS surfactants and green inhibitors,
• protective coatings on metals,
• corrosion at high pressures,
• materials useful for implants in saline solutions.

Measurements are performed with the potentiodynamic method, instruments measuring electrochemical noise and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

RESEARCH EQUIPMENT

• System for corrosion measurments: Eletrochemical Interface and Frequency Response Analyzer, Solarton
• System for corrosion measurments with electrochemical noise method: potentiostat IMP 88 PC- R
• Faraday cage for noiseless corrosion measurments
• Densitymeter with vibratong U – tube, DMA 60/520/602
• System for corrosion measurments: Reference 600 Potentiostat/Galvanostat/ZRA with software and electrochemical cell
