By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Journal of Technology -- Current study results on Materials Research - Applied Materials & Interfaces have been published. According to news originating from Harbin, People’s Republic of China, by VerticalNews correspondents, research stated, “Corrosion of iron-containing materials, which presents serious economic and safety problems, normally begins with microcorrosion, which refers to the early stages of corrosion before visible changes appear on the surface. If microcorrosion could be detected and repaired immediately, corrosion damage could be greatly reduced.”
Financial supporters for this research include Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China, Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’s Republic of China, Natural Science Foundation of Heilongjiang Province.
Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Northeast Forestry University, “Current technology and materials, however, are not able to detect microcorrosion of iron in a cheap and convenient manner. Here, we have used a natural product, ellagic acid (EA), to fabricate an EA-functionalized poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) film (EAF) for in situ sensing of the initial stage of microcorrosion. EAF was able to effectively sense iron microcorrosion via an obvious color change. The film also had good long-term stability and mechanical strength.”
According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Since EAF can be easily prepared from inexpensive and green raw materials, the film opens up a new opportunity for the detection of iron microcorrosion.”
