Abstract

Corrosion is one of the main challenges faced by advanced industries today because it can cause major losses in terms of safety and economy. One of the common protection methods used to reduce the impact of corrosion is polymer-based coating, which can provide hydrophobic properties on the substrate surface. This study aims to examine the effect of variations in the composition of silica-manganese (SiMn) composites reinforced with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) on hydrophobic properties, corrosion resistance, and contact angles. The coating method used is spin coating, with the substrate being a mixture of hard and strong silica and manganese which has corrosion-resistant properties. The SiMn compositions varied were 40%:60%, 50%:50%, and 60%:40%. This study is experimental, using tools such as HEM-3D, XRD, SEM, and FTIR. The coating process was carried out by mixing 2.5 grams of PDMS with silica and manganese powders with a total weight of 1 gram, according to the composition variations. The contact angle test was conducted using a DSLR camera, while the corrosion resistance test was conducted using the immersion method in sulfuric acid with the mass loss method. The results showed that variations in composition affected the contact angle and corrosion resistance of the SiMn-PDMS layer. The composition of 0.6 grams of silica and 0.4 grams of manganese produced the highest contact angle of 120.66⁰, indicating higher hydrophobic properties. Conversely, the composition of 0.4 grams of silica and 0.6 grams of manganese showed the lowest corrosion rate, which was 1.57 cm/hour.

Abstract

Nanocomposites derived from talc (Mg₃Si₄O₁₀(OH)₂) and montmorillonite (MMT) have gained considerable attention due to their tunable optical, mechanical, and thermal properties. This study systematically compares two synthesis techniques—sol-gel processing and ball milling—for fabricating talc/MMT nanocomposites, with a focus on their optical characteristics. The sol-gel method promoted homogeneous nanoparticle dispersion, while ball milling enhanced exfoliation and reduced particle size. Comprehensive characterization via X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy revealed that the nanocomposites exhibit strong UV absorption in the 200–400 nm range, a reduced optical bandgap from 4.5 eV to 3.8 eV, and enhanced PL intensity compared to pristine materials. These findings suggest promising applications in UV shielding, optoelectronics, and photocatalytic systems. The study concludes that the choice of synthesis method plays a pivotal role in tailoring the nanocomposites’ structural integrity and optical functionality, with sol-gel favoring intercalation and uniformity, while ball milling enhances exfoliation and defect-mediated performance. This comparative study highlights the critical influence of synthesis method on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of talc/MMT nanocomposites, providing valuable insights for optimizing layered silicate-based materials for advanced functional applications.

Abstract

The rapid growth of industries like petrochemical processing, offshore drilling, transportation, and metallurgy has increased oily wastewater and oil spills, threatening ecosystems and human health. Traditional oil-water separation methods often struggle with low efficiency and poor stability, especially against stable emulsions. This study investigates superhydrophobic materials fabricated via dip-coating on stainless steel mesh, electrospinning of PVDF membranes, and chemical etching of aluminum surfaces. All materials showed excellent water repellency with contact angles over 150°, achieving oil-water separation efficiencies above 97% for various oils. The dip-coated mesh achieved the highest flux and separation efficiency, while the electrospun membrane offered enhanced chemical resistance and durability. Despite promising results, challenges remain including mechanical abrasion resistance, environmental concerns over hydrophobic coatings, and scalability for industrial use. Future research should focus on eco-friendly, self-healing, and stimulus-responsive coatings to improve durability and environmental safety, advancing the practical application of superhydrophobic materials in wastewater treatment and oil spill remediation.
