Corrosion study of the reinforced concrete is one of the most commonly investigation for the construction in civil engineering. The corrosion of embedded steel for the structures in the marine area like the Persian Gulf Sea Water needed considerable attentions. Presence of chlorides and decrease of pH in pores reinforcement depth of concrete is a serious problem. Research the corrosion rate in reinforced concrete system using fibers with a rebar is investigated. Cellulose and Carbon fiber materials are used as inhibitors. The addition of small quantities of these materials into the concrete mixture, will change the concrete permeability and the corrosion resistance rate. Tests demonstrate... 

In present study, with the aim of fabrication of a sacrificial coating with superior barrier properties in comparison with Zn-Ni monolayer, a single Zn-Ni-P bath was developed for electrodeposition of Ni-P/Zn-Ni multilayers. The deposits that were prepared in developed bath at 5 mA/cm2 was dominantly Ni-P containing less than 1 percent Zn and the alloy deposited in 60 mA/cm2 was mainly Zn-Ni containing around 3.2 wt.% P content. The effects of bath ingredients on the electrodeposition mechanism was analyzed through voltammetry. Also, the composition, surface morphology and the growth mechanism as well as the phase structure of deposits were studied via SEM, EDS and XRD analysis. Zn-Ni... 

The corrosion rate of steel (EN 10130 DC-04) in the presence of oleuropein in aqueous corrosive solutions (of different concentrations in 1M and 0.5M hydrochloric acid and also 3.5% sodium chloride) evaluated and results was shown that oleuropein can protect steel surfaces and it acts as good inhibitor. This means that the observations of linear polarization and weight loss experiments showed inhibitor efficiency more than 97% in acidic corrosive medium and above 74% for aqueous solution of 3.5% sodium chloride. Adding oleuropein at different concentrations (i.e. 300 ppm, 700 ppm, and 1000 ppm) to three different types of polymeric paint structures (nitrocellulose alkyd base, acrylic base,... 

In this project, olive leaf extract has been investigated as a green corrosion inhibitor or in other words environmentally friendly for rebars embedded in concrete in the Persian Gulf Sea water simulator. Olive leaves were prepared by ultrasonic method at 50 ° C with the help of ethanol solvent. The water-ethanol solvent was 70:30 and the resulting extract was immediately applied to the concrete mix in specified doses. Portland cement type 2 according to ISIRI-389-96 standard has been used to prepare concrete. The resulting extract powder was added to the samples in four different doses: 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% by weight of cement to prove the inhibitory function as well as the cathodic or inhibitory... 

Corrosion is caused through chemical interactions between metal and gases in the surrounding environment. Conductive polymers are used for corrosion protection, polyaniline is the most environmentally stable out of all the conductive polymers, the most studied of this materials, is highly stable, synthesized easily, highly conducting, and readily converted between its various oxidation states.
In this study we prepared nanoporous polyaniline coating on carbon steel to corrosion protection. Coating was included nanopouros polyaniline with doping molybdate (PANI-MoO_4^(-2)). To increase adhesion between steel and PANI-MoO_4^(-2) layer, oxalic acid was used. Polystyrene nanoparticle layer... 

In this study, the effect of green coffee extract powder, as a green corrosion inhibitor of steel in a concrete simulation environment was investigated. In this study, the green coffee extract was obtained by the Maceration method and its performance was investigated by weight loss method, electrochemical methods including Polarization, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. Scanning Electron Microscopy images were also used to visualize the corroded areas. The results of the polarization test showed that 450 mg/lit of coffee extract powder at 25 °C has the corrosion inhibiting efficiency of about 82% and the corrosion rate of the bare sample reduced from 6 to 1.16 mpy. The dosage of 550... 

In this research, a coating was created on the steel surface using the network structure of zeolite imidazolate-8 (ZIF-8) and its effect on the corrosion behavior of steel was investigated. Then, the effect of two coupling agents, mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane (MPTES) and aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) on the coating and its anti-corrosion properties was investigated. Then, in order to make a hydrophobic coating, the substrate was first coated with ZIF-8 and then a combination of silica nanoparticles plus hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) and polymethylhydrogensiloxane (PMHS) was added to the initial solution and then coating was done. As a result of this process, the contact angle of water...
