Design new epoxy nanocomposite coatings based on metal vanadium oxy-phosphate M0.5VOPO4 for anti-corrosion applications

Abstract Epoxy nanocomposite coatings are an essential way to protect petroleum storage tanks from corrosion.For this purpose, the new nanocomposite epoxy coatings (P-M/epoxy composites) have been successfully designed.The P-M/epoxy composites are based on the metal vanadium oxy-phosphate M0.5VOPO4 (where M = Mg, Ni, and Zn).The function of Baggies

A Lenient Causal Arrow of Time?

One of the basic assumptions underlying Bell’s theorem is the causal arrow of time, having to do with temporal order rather than spatial separation.Nonetheless, the physical assumptions regarding causality are seldom studied in this context, and often even go unmentioned, in stark contrast with the many different possible locality conditions

Comparative Review of Instrumental Techniques and Methods for the Analysis of Microplastics in Agricultural Matrices

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous and evasive in nature.They can be found in complex agricultural matrices like soil and compost.In the literature, extracting MPs from soil is more prevalent; nonetheless, the same instruments in extraction in soil samples can also be used to assess MPs in compost despite the high levels of organic material.MPs in
