Metal-organic multilayers of manganese stearate prepared by Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique on hydrophobic Si substrate were studied by grazing incidence X-ray scattering techniques. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction measurements show distorted hexagonal in-plane structure of the molecules. ...detailed
Marine corrosion and biofouling on metallic materials are sticky problems. Herein, we prepared hierarchical structured superhydrophobic (SHPB) surfaces via a versatile one step electrodeposition approach. The synthetic SHPB surface was employed as an efficient barrier against corrosion and Chlor...detailed
The effect of pro-degradant manganese (Mn) stearate concentration on the oxidative abiotic degradation of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was investigated in thermo-oxidative tests at three temperatures (60, 70 and 80 °C) over time. Degradation monitoring was carried out, by determining carbon...detailed
