Abstract
In this work, three Ibuprofen tin complexes were synthesized and characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1H and 119Sn-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopies to identify the structures. The complexes were mixed separately with poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) to improve its photo-stability properties. Their activity was demonstrated by several approaches of the FTIR to exhibit the formation of new groups within the polymer structure due to the exposure to UV light. Moreover, the polymer’s weight loss during irradiation and the average molecular weight estimation using its viscosity before and after irradiation were investigated. Furthermore, different techniques were used to study the surface morphology of the PVC before and after irradiation. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and optical microscope demonstrated that applying Ibuprofen tin complexes keeps the surface of PVC smoother, with fewer cracks and spots after irradiation comparing to the blank PVC. Finally, It seems possible that such synthesized Ibuprofen tin complexes can work as excellent photo-stabilizers of PVC. In particular, complex 1 showed the best results among other stabilizers due to the large conjugation system of the stabilizer.

Micro- and Nanoscale Spectroscopic Investigations of Threonine Influence on the Corrosion Process of the Modified Fe Surface by Cu Nanoparticles. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2020; 13:E4482. [PMID: 33050390 PMCID: PMC7600280 DOI: 10.3390/ma13204482] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2020] [Revised: 09/28/2020] [Accepted: 10/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
The work presents a comprehensive vibrational analysis of the process of adsorption of threonine (Thr) onto an Fe surface with deposited Cu nanoparticles (NPs) (of about 4-5 nm in size) in a corrosive environment. The application of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRA) provides the opportunity for detailed description of adsorption geometry of amino acid onto a metal surface. The combination of conventional infrared spectroscopy (IR) with atomic force microscopy (AFM) resulted in a nano-SEIRA technique which made it possible to provide a precise description of adsorbate binding to the metal surface. The studies presented confirmed that there is a very good correlation between the spectra recorded by the SERS, SEIRA, and nano-SEIRA techniques. Threonine significantly influenced the process of corrosion of the investigated surface due to the existing strong interaction between the protonated amine and carboxylate groups and the CuNPs deposited onto the Fe surface. In addition, the application of two polarization modulations (s and p) in nano-SEIRA allows subtle changes to be observed in the molecule geometry upon adsorption, with the carboxylate group of Thr being almost horizontally oriented onto the metal surface; whereas the amine group that contains nitrogen is oriented perpendicular to this surface.

Abstract
Corrosion influenced by microbes, commonly known as microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC), is associated with biofilm, which has been one of the problems in the industry. The damages of industrial equipment or infrastructures due to corrosion lead to large economic and environmental problems. Synthetic chemical biocides are now commonly used to prevent corrosion, but most of them are not effective against the biofilms, and they are toxic and not degradable. Biocides easily kill corrosive bacteria, which are as the planktonic and sessile population, but they are not effective against biofilm. New antimicrobial and eco-friendly substances are now being developed. Biosurfactants are proved to be one of the best eco-friendly anticorrosion substances to inhibit the biocorrosion process and protect materials against corrosion. Biosurfactants have recently became one of the important products of bioeconomy with multiplying applications, while there is scare knowledge on their using in biocorrosion treatment. In this review, the recent findings on the application of biosurfactants as eco-friendly and innovative biocides against biocorrosion are highlighted.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of a bio-sourced polymer as a corrosion inhibitor against iron corrosion in a 1 M HCl solution. Galactomannan was obtained from the carob plant (Ceratonia Siliqua L) and its structure was verified by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and elemental analysis. The inhibitor concentration effects and immersion time on the resistance of the iron surface against corrosion are evaluated using impedance and polarization electrochemical measurements, UV-visible analysis and theoretical study. The results show that the galactomannan is a mixed type inhibitor act by physisorption and chemisorption on the metal surface. In addition, the efficiency of these compounds increases with increasing the concentration of the inhibitor and reaches a value of 87.72% at a concentration of 1 g/l. The electrode surface was characterized by SEM surface analysis method coupled with EDS.

Abstract
Giving a “new life” to wastes should be the golden rule for all production processes in the forthcoming future, aiming at making them more sustainable and environmentally friendly. In the corrosion science field, the ambitious circular economy paradigm has recently led to the employment of extracts from plants (and, in less extent, from agri-food wastes) as green inhibitors against corrosion of metals. However, in spite of the number of scientific papers published in the field, a deep revision of the scientific approach is needed both in the execution of experiments and in the critical analysis of the results. Starting from some discrepancies in published data, the corrosion inhibition effect induced by a well-characterized methanolic extract from wastes of fermented Punica granatum and by its main component (ellagic acid, EA) was validated. The corrosion behaviour of Armco® pure iron in the presence of small concentrations of ellagic acid and extract (containing ca. 10 µM and 100 µM EA) was studied by combining results from mass loss tests, at free corrosion potential, and from polarization tests, by linearly sweeping the potential applied to the metal substrate. Experiments were carried out both in acidic medium (typical for a general corrosion phenomenon) and in near-neutral chloride bearing solution (characteristic of a localized pitting corrosion phenomenon). Neat conflicts with already published data have been identified first in the solubility of the inhibitor and then in the inhibition efficiency (around 40% in a 0.05 M HCl). The very limited solubility in aqueous environment was identified as the main drawback, hindering any possible exploitation of ellagic acid and pomegranate extract as promising green corrosion inhibitors. Results point to the necessity to establish clear and rigorous good laboratory practices to follow while reporting results on such complex matrices like vegetable extracts.

Abstract
Corrosion inhibition effect of the crude extracts (hexane, dichloromethane, methanol) from the bark of Cryptocarya nigra and three alkaloids named N-methylisococlaurine 1, N-methyllaurotetanine 2 and atherosperminine 3 isolated from the Cryptocarya nigra dichloromethane extract (CNDE) were investigated for mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl solution. An electrochemical impedance study showed that CNDE and 2 reduced the corrosion significantly through a charge transfer mechanism with inhibition efficiency of 91.05% and 88.05%, respectively. Potentiodynamic polarization data indicated that CNDE acted through anodic type inhibition while 2 was a mixed type inhibitor with predominant anodic effectiveness. ΔG ads values calculated from the Langmuir adsorption isotherm plots for CNDE (-28.2 kJ mol-1) and 2 (-13.2 kJ mol-1) suggested that they adsorbed on the mild steel surface via a physisorption mechanism. Scanning electron microscopy micrographs and elemental composition studies confirmed the formation of a protective film over the metal surface. Wastewater quality parameters of all the inhibitors demonstrated good biodegradability as their values were within the permissible limits to discharge for irrigation and horticultural uses.

Abstract
The main goal of this research is to evaluate the contributions of Green Chemistry as a potential tool to drive the transition to circularity. For this, we have carried out a bibliographic study, analyzing those documents, process, or experiences that dealt jointly with the Green Chemistry aspects related to circularity such circular economy, industrial ecology, and closed loop. Findings show that few authors have treated that disciplines together in the last 10 years. Based on an analysis of academic literature, common strategies (design, raw materials, life cycle assessment, processes, normative, new business, and collaboration), specific experiences (catalyst, biobased products or methods, recycling, and reusing), and difficulties to overcome (metrics, transdisciplinary research, unawareness, and competitiveness) have been identified. Finally, different kind of measures, as behind such joint metrics, informal open spaces, closer the industry, education, standards and label are proposed to facilitate the development of Green Chemistry, circular economy, industrial ecology, and closed loop with the ultimate goal of improving sustainable development.From the evidences found, we finally conclude that it is possible to use Green Chemistry and its principles as a tool to drive the transition to circularity, being the development of open spaces for exchange information between different actors from academia, governments and regulatory actors, business and industrial sectors, with the aim of promoting disruptive advances in sustainability.

Abstract
A coating that was made of peppermint essential oil was obtained on different metal substrates: Ti6Al4V alloy (mechanically polished and chemically etched) and 316L stainless steel (mechanically polished and mechanically ground). The final aim is to get a multifunctional (chemical and mechanical) protection of metal surfaces in contact with water media. The coatings were characterized by means of fluorescence microscopy, contact angle measurements, and Fourier Transformed Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopy. The chemical stability of the coatings was tested by means of soaking in water for different times (up to seven days) and washing with different alkaline or acidic solutions. The mechanical adhesion of the coating was tested by tape adhesion test (before and after soaking) and scratch tests to verify whether it has protection ability with respect to the metal substrate. All of the performed characterizations show that the coatings are chemically stable on all of the substrates and are nor dissolved or removed by water during soaking or by alkaline solutions during washing. The adhesion is high and classified as 4B or 5B (on the chemically etched or mechanically ground substrates) according to ASTM D3359-97, depending on the substrate roughness, both before and after soaking. In the case of scratch test (up to 10 N), the coating is not removed and it has a protection action that is able to avoid the surface damage, even if the substrate has a plastic deformation.

Abstract
Plant extracts have shown promising corrosion inhibitive actions for different metals in diverse corrosive climate. In numerous studies, it has been demonstrated that corrosion inhibitive features of plant extracts are due to the presence of complex mixtures of phytomolecules in their composition. However, rare efforts have been made to identify those phytomolecules accountable for the activity of the extracts. Therefore, in this paper, several Matricaria aurea extracts were prepared and assessed for their anticorrosive actions for mild steel (MS) in corrosive media (1.0 M HCl). Among the tested extracts, the methanolic extract showing the utmost anticorrosive activity was selected and processed further to identify its active phytomolecules, which led to the identification of a novel green corrosion inhibitor, MAB (Apigetrin). Furthermore, the anticorrosive properties of MAB on MS were evaluated comprehensively involving gravimetric, linear polarization, Tafel plots, EIS, and techniques like SEM and EDS. These findings expose that MAB performs like a mixed-type inhibitor and conforms the isotherm of Langmuir adsorption model. Moreover, the MS surface via SEM techniques exhibits a remarkable advanced surface of the MS plate in the company of MAB. The outcome of results through electrochemical analysis and weight loss methods were in good consonance, which depicts remarkable inhibition properties of the novel green inhibitor MAB.

Abstract
C-Mn steels, commonly employed in structural applications, are often exposed to near-neutral aerated environments and hence subjected to general corrosion. In broader contexts, for example during pickling, acidizing treatments, or acid-releasing processes, where steel comes in contact with more aggressive solutions, the use of corrosion inhibitors is a supplementary strategy to cathodic protection and/or coating. This work focuses on the C-Mn steel corrosion protection in the presence of HCl, either as process fluid or by product. In order to avoid the toxicological issues related to conventional synthetic products, a bio-copolymer containing glycerin-grafted starch, synthesized by modification of maize starch, was studied as a “green” corrosion inhibitor by the weight loss method and electrochemical techniques (open circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy). Corrosion-related parameters, such as inhibitor concentration and temperature, were varied and optimized to characterize the corrosion process. Results showed that inhibition efficiency increases with increasing bio-copolymer concentration, reaching a maximum of 94%at the concentration of 300 mg L−1. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters were determined and discussed. The obtained values of corrosion potential and corrosion current density, Ecorr and icorr, obtained by potentiodynamic polarization, are in agreement with the weight loss method. The corrosion current densities decrease when the concentration of the inhibitor increases.

Abstract
The corrosion protection of coatings can be reinforced by the addition of entrapped corrosion inhibitors. β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) can form inclusion complexes with small inhibiting organic molecules that, when entrapped in coatings, allow the inhibitor release and adsorption at corrosion initiation sites. In this paper, several Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)-based experiments (e.g., Complexation-Induced Shifts (CIS), NMR titration, Diffusion-Ordered Spectroscopy (DOSY)) were performed to study the stability and geometry of a complex formed by β-cyclodextrin with 5-mercapto-1-phenyl-tetrazole (MPT). The complex was also detected by Electrospray Ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry and characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra. Its influence on the protectiveness of a silane coating against bronze corrosion was evaluated in plain (AR) and concentrated (ARX10) synthetic acid rain, under different exposure conditions. In particular, the time evolution of the polarization resistance values during 20 days in ARX10 and the polarization curves recorded at the end of the immersions evidenced a higher protectiveness of the coating with the β-CD–MPT complex in comparison to that containing only MPT or only β-CD. The cyclic AR spray test carried out on coated bronze coupons with cross-cut scratches evidenced the absence of underfilm corrosion starting from the scratches only in the complex-containing coating.

Abstract
Herein, the anti-corrosion of carbon steel in 1 M HCl by two newly synthesized pyrazolotriazole derivatives, namely, 6-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole-7-carbonitrile (CPT) and 1-acetyl-6-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole-7-carbothioamide (MPT), was studied using electrochemical, density functional theory (DFT), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation techniques. The experimental results showed that the concentrations of inhibitors had a significant influence on their inhibition efficiencies. Potentiodynamic polarization curves indicated that the two pyrazolotriazoles were mixed-type inhibitors. DFT calculations were employed to explore the molecular activity, and MD simulations were performed to obtain the interaction energy between the inhibitor molecules and the iron surface. The findings obtained using the theoretical calculation techniques were consistent with those obtained via experiments. Anti-corrosion of carbon steel in 1 M HCl by 6-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole-7-carbonitrile and 1-acetyl-6-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole-7-carbothioamide, was studied using electrochemical, DFT and molecular dynamics simulation techniques.![]()
