Optimization of corrosion resistance of AZ31 Mg alloy through hydration-driven interaction between quinolin-8-ol and plasma electrolytic oxidation-formed MgO layer by Mosab Kaseem, Talitha Tara Thanaa, Ananda Repycha Safira, Alireza Askari, Arash Fattah-alhosseini

“…DFT calculations further suggested that the hydration treatment provided multiple active sites, enabling effective contact with 8HQ and rapid electron transfer, creating ideal conditions for charge-transfer-induced physical and chemical bonding. This study shows that hydration and 8HQ treatments significantly enhance the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys, highlighting their potential for advanced anticorrosive coatings.…”

Degradation of low-density polyethylene by a novel strain of bacteria isolated from the plastisphere of marine ecosystems by F.A. Febria, A. Syafrita, A. Putra, H. Hidayat, C. Febrion

“…Fourier transform infrared observations showed variations in transmittance and wavenumbers, indicating changes in chemical bonds or functional groups in the low-density polyethylene film which caused it to become brittle and break down into smaller fragments with a lower molecular weight, making it easier for bacteria to digest. …”
