Funded Activity Summary

Corrosion Resistance of Nanocrystalline Materials. Novel structure and the associated unique properties of nanostructured materials confer potentials for their exciting industrial applications, such as drug delivery to specified locations for cancer treatment, exceptionally high sensitivity sensors, miniaturisation in computers/electronic/communication industry, nano electro-mechanical systems, catalytic applications and exceptionally high strength materials. In most of the applications, the nanomaterials have to demonstrate acceptable corrosion resistance in the operation environment. However, corrosion resistance of nanostructured materials has not been investigated. The proposal will investigate the mechanistic aspect of localized corrosion and cracking of nanostructured materials.
