The classification of silicones in the literature is as broad as their properties and
applications; in this work, we have restricted the discussion to polydimethylsiloxanes …

This paper tackles bacteria of the genus Bacillus as both biodamaging/biodegrading and
biocontrolling agents. The article addresses the said bacteria's ability to form biofilms and …

Antifouling coatings are crucial to protect marine facilities and aquacultures from the
damage of microorganisms for long-term serves. However, it is still a challenge to fabricate …

Corrosion of X80 pipeline steel under sulfate-reducing bacterium (SRB) biofilms, which
formed in a culture medium at different times, in a simulated CO 2-saturated oilfield …

Metal corrosion often results in incalculable economic loss and significant safety hazards.
Although numerous traditional methods have been used to mitigate the issue, such as …

Catharanthus roseus (Apocynaceae family) extract is rich in organic phytochemicals such as
alkaloids, polyphenolic compounds, and flavonoids. It contains several functional entities …

The effect of embedding various metal oxide additives on the structural, curing,
morphological, adhesion, and corrosion protection properties of a novel hybrid sol-gel …

This study focuses on optimizing the thermal, morphological, scratch resistance, and anti-
barrier characteristics of newly developed hybrid sol-gel coatings. The coatings were …

Present work investigated the role of five different bacteria species as a corrosion inducer as
well as corrosion inhibitor with carbon steel (CS). We observed the ability of different …

The soil microbiome is involved in the processes of microbial corrosion, in particular, by the
formation of biofilm. It has been proposed that an environmentally friendly solution to this …
