Abstract Double stimuli‐responsive membranes are prepared by modification of pH‐sensitive integral asymmetric polystyrene‐ b ‐poly(4‐vinylpyridine) (PS‐ ‐P4VP) diblock copolymer with temperature‐responsive poly( N ‐isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) a surface linking reaction. PS‐ ‐P4VP first functionalized mild mussel‐inspired polydopamine coating and then reacted via Michael addition an amine‐terminated pNIPAM‐NH 2 under slightly basic conditions. The thoroughly characterized nuclear magnetic...
This article provides a contribution towards the mechanistic understanding of surface phenomena observed during corrosion Mg-based substrates particularly in low anodic polarization range. The concept considers recent literature explaining cathodic hydrogen evolution from noble acting areas even global polarization. Heavy metal impurities ppm range or intermetallics are always present highly pure magnesium. Their potential effect was investigated here more detail. experimental results...
Severe corrosion of Mg and alloys is a major issue hindering their wider application in transportation industry, medical implants aqueous batteries. Previously, no Mg-based material has been found with significantly lower rate than that ultra-high-purity Mg, i.e. 0.25 mm y-1 concentrated NaCl solution. In this work for the first time, highly corrosion-resistant to be accomplishable by Ca micro-alloying, bringing "stainless Mg" closer. The designed Mg-Ca lean possess incredibly low rates,...
This paper proposes a computational framework to describe the biodegradation of magnesium (Mg)-based bone implants. It is based on sequential combination two models: an electrochemical corrosion model compute mass loss implant over several weeks combined with mechanical assess its residual strength. The first uses peridynamic (PD) tackle complex moving boundary corroding material in efficient manner. results this simulation are mapped finite element (FE) by way damage variable. Subsequently,...

Aqueous Mg battery technology holds significant appeal, owing to the availability of raw materials, high power densities and possibility fast mechanical recharge. However, batteries have so far been prone decreased capacity due self-corrosion anodes from electrochemical redeposition impurities, such as Fe, which results in parasitic cathodically active sites on discharging anode. This work demonstrates that by adding Fe3+-complexing agents like Tiron or salicylate aqueous electrolyte an...
Mg-air primary battery has become an attractive source of energy due to its economic viability, environmental benignity, and high theoretical specific power density. However, low practical delivered self-corrosion fast anode fouling are the main reasons that limit their commercial application. Modification electrolyte chemistry in batteries plays a crucial role improving performance. In this study, impact addition two strong complexing agents at different concentrations aqueous is...
