The project focuses on the development and characterization of advanced materials based on organic-inorganic hybrid nanocomposites used to protect metallic components, continuing the research conducted by the group over the past 12 years. The main objective of this work is to correlate, according to the preparation conditions, the electronic, structural and morphological characteristics w…
The activities proposed here involve two interrelated research areas that focus on the development and characterization of advanced materials based on organic-inorganic hybrids modified by carbon nanotubes and graphene, and carbon-ceramic nanocomposites in the form of zero and one dimensional carbon nanostructures, grown on mesoporous alumina membranes (anodized aluminum oxide - AAO). The…

Using the sol-gel process organic-inorganic hybrids consisting of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) covalently bonded to different inorganic phases (TiO2, ZrO2 and CeO2) will be synthesized aiming to obtain multifunctional hybrids systems that combine properties such as high mechanical strength, thermal stability, photocatalytic activity and excellent anticorrosive characteristics. The fir…
Organic-inorganic hybrid coatings modified with cerium ions will be prepared by the sol-gel process in order to perform a structural and electrochemical investigation. The effect of different concentrations of Ce(III) and Ce(IV) ions in the inorganic phase will be studied focusing on the following aspects: formation and structure of the hybrid network, anti-corrosion properties and the "s…
The project proposes to investigate the relationship between structure and properties of organic-inorganic hybrids of siloxane-methacrylate system prepared by sol-gel process. In addition to the structural changes in the hybrid matrix, as a ratio between the organic and inorganic phase, will be studied the effects of cerium (IV) doping in the formation of a hybrid network and as the anti-…

Organic-inorganic hybrid coatings constitute a novel environmentally compliant alternative for the hexavalent chromium conversion method used for corrosion protection of metallic surfaces. In this context, PMMA-silica hybrids have been prepared using the sol-gel route by hydrolysis and condensation of the tetraetoxysilane (TEOS) and polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in the prese…
Using the sol-gel process organic-inorganic hybrids will be synthesized consisting of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) covalently bonded to TiO2 and ZrO2 inorganic phases through the coupling agent 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). PMMA-TiO2 and PMMA-ZrO2 hybrids coatings will be deposited onto Ti6Al4V titanium alloy by dip-coating aiming to obtain multifunctional hybrids systems that c…
The project proposes to employ the X-ray absorption spectroscopy to investigate the relationship between structure and properties of cerium doped organic-inorganic hybrids of the siloxane-methacrylate system prepared by the sol-gel process. The main emphasis will be given on the effects of cerium (IV) doping on the formation of a hybrid network and the self-healing ability of hybrid coati…
