The contamination of aqueous systems is of global concern. It is extensively known that contaminants of organic, inorganic, and microbiological origin adversely affect water basins, causing environmental damages and numerous ...

The immersion of any material in a water system triggers a surface microbial colonization which simultaneously influences the corrosion behavior of the substratum. The present study was focused on the As(V) influence on ...

Significant attention has been given to the development of nanocomposite polymeric hybrid materials for the removal of pesticides from water in recent decades. This study focused on the removal of carbendazim from aqueous ...

Glass fiber reinforced epoxy (GFRE) composite materials are prone to suffer from water absorption due to their heterogeneous structure. The main process governing water absorption is diffusion of water molecules through ...

The quality of drinking water flowing in a distribution network can possess corrosive characteristics that may cause the material degradation of pipes and accessories. This problem can result in reduction of the service ...

Hydrothermal aging of an epoxy-anhydride network has been studied by means of gravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC). The long-term aging ...

Confined water, such as those molecules in nanolayers of 2-3 nm in length, plays an important role in the adhesion of hydrophilic materials, mainly in cementitious ones. In this study, the effects of water containing ...
