Abstract: The paper presents the results obtained when using two ketonic Mannich bases (BM1 and BM2) as corrosion inhibitors in saline (standard sea water-3.5% NaCl) for different types of steel, with various alloying elements. The corrosion experiments were performed by potentiodynamic polarization studies. Based on the polarization curves, the corrosion current density and rate were calculated. The inhibitors efficiencies were evalued and the protection mechanisms were discussed.

Abstract: The paper presents the results obtained when using Mannich bases (and derivatives) as corrosion inhibitors in saline environment, for different types of steels, with various alloying elements. The Mannich basis (ketonic combinations with naphtenic and nitrogen containing rings) were synthesized as such (polar) and as chlorhydrates (ionic) and used in corrosion experiments, in concentrations varying from 0….1300 ppm. The corrosion experiments were performed by potentiodynamic polarization studies. Based on the polarization curves, the corrosion current density and rate were calculated. The inhibitor efficiency was evaluated and based on these values the protection mechanisms was discussed.

Abstract: The paper presents research concerning the synthesis and characterization of some new nanocomposite used as wood coating nanomaterials, consisting of a hybrid of organic (functionalized acrylic copolymers with iron lignosulfonate) and inorganic nanomaterials (ZnO nanoparticles obtained by sol-gel process). The presence of acrylic copolymers in water emulsion (based on monomers ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, acrylonitrile and the lignin derivative iron lignosulfonate) and ZnO nanoparticles enables the formation of a crosslinked nanometric network of inorganic and organic domains, emphasized by AFM analysis. The interphase characterization of the nanostructured materials synthesized was performed using FT-IR analysis. Considering the biocide activity for the acrylic copolymers, the lignin derivative iron lignosulfonate and ZnO nanoparticles, the obtained nanocomposites were biologically investigated and proposed as wood preservation agents.
