Development of high performance and efficient coating repair systems for offshore tropical marine environment
Rehabilitation coatings of offshore equipment rarely perform as well as the original coating, despite the high cost involved. The performance gap is probably due to high relative humidity, salt contamination and limitations on the use of abrasive blast cleaning. Thus, this research aims to deepen …

Statistical Predictions Based on Accelerated Degradation Data and Spatial Count Data
… 2 and 3 investigate the photodegradation of an organic coating, which is mainly caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation but also affected by environmental factors, including temperature and humidity. In Chapter 2, we identify a physically motivated nonlinear mixed-effects model, including the …

Mechanistic modeling of increased oxygen transport using functionalized magnetic fluids in bioreactors
… oxygen transfer consisted in adding emulsified organic phases in which oxygen has a greater solubility. However, these approaches have several limitations, the most important of which is the difficult recovery of the organic phase after the fermentation. The research presented in this thesis …

Antifouling and Antithrombogenic Ultrathin Surface Chemistry for Bioanalytical and Biomedical Applications
… an antifouling (respectively a biocompatible) organic coating. Yet, despite tremendous research activity and progress in recent times, efficient adlayers are scarce, and endowing artificial surfaces with such properties remains, in essence, a difficult task. This PhD Thesis describes recent …

Development of Environmentally Friendly Non-Chrome Conversion Coatings for Cold-Rolled Steel
Steel producers use various organic and inorganic coatings to protect cold-rolled steel (CRS) sheets from corrosion during shipment and storage. It is well known that CRS sheets can be protected from corrosion by galvanizing, phosphating, chromating, topcoating with organic, or their combinations. …

The Role of Sulfhydryl-Containing Low Molecular Weight Ligands for the Environmental Fate of Zinc Sulfide and Metallic Silver Nanoparticles
… and manufactured nanomaterials. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) acts as a moderator of reactivity and bioavailability for dissolved and particulate moieties in natural waters. DOM consists of a range of low and high molecular weight species that are complex and heterogeneous. It has been …
