Nanocomposite thin film deposited on copper and glass substrates have been created by utilizing Spray Pyrolysis method. The precursor solution for the nanocomposite (Cr2O3/C) was blended with the polyethylene glycol as a colloidal. The optical band gap is a crucial property for the nanocomposite, for instance, nanocomposite thin film of Cr2O3/C was kept by shower process on glass and copper substrates. The band gap for the nanocomposite photo-catalytic has been finished using X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis spectrometer. The assessed optical band gaps for direct and indirect transition values determined and were 3.5, 3.25 eV and photon energy 1.65 eV to carbon doped by nanoparticle Cr2O3.

The inhibition efficiency (IE) was found to increase with increasing the inhibitor concentration in HCl solution. However, the IE was increased in H2SO4 solution with increasing the meloxicam concentration up to 200 ppm and then it was decreased. Maximum inhibition efficiency of 92 and 95% has been achieved at 400 and 200 ppm meloxicam in 1M HCl and 0.5M H2SO4, respectively. Adsorption of meloxicam on the surface of mild steel follows Langmuir isotherm. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements indicated that meloxicam is a mixed-type inhibitor. The effect of temperature on the corrosion rate of mild steel was studied in acidic media both in the absence and presence of meloxicam drug. Some thermodynamic parameters were computed from the effect of temperature on the inhibition process. }, keywords = {Meloxicam,Environment-friendly inhibitor,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,Potentiodynamic,polarization,Mild steel}, url = {https://pccc.icrc.ac.ir/article_81626.html}, eprint = {https://pccc.icrc.ac.ir/article_81626_f0c8500fab3427d628d647c333b83758.pdf} } @article { author = {Tahmasb Pour Afshar, F. and Ramezanian, N. and Behzadpour, M.}, title = {Identification and Evaluation of Replaced Materials of Titanium Dioxide Pigment in Alkyd Resins and Investigation of their Properties}, journal = {Progress in Color, Colorants and Coatings}, volume = {13}, number = {3}, pages = {167-175}, year = {2020}, publisher = {Institute for Color Science and Technology (ICST)}, issn = {2008-2134}, eissn = {2383-1790}, doi = {10.30509/pccc.2020.81627}, abstract = {The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different types and concentrations of mineral extenders on some major properties of long oil alkyd paint with the main pigment of titanium dioxide (TiO2). To this end, a fraction of TiO2 was replaced with extenders including kaolinite, talc, dolomite, and barite. Moreover, adhesion, bending test, and coating quality were measured once the given extenders were added to the formulation. The results revealed that adding these extenders to the formula had led to no significant changes in adhesion, bending test, as well as coating quality. In addition, drying time, reflection, total solvent used, milling time, and hiding power were considered as some parameters monitored during the use of different types of extenders. The findings also confirmed that replacing 5 and 7 wt.% of TiO2 with different extenders could have an adverse effect on reflection and hiding power. However, milling time and total solvent used had increased. Moreover, samples such as kaolinite + calcium carbonate (CaCO3) (H-1), kaolinite + talc (H-2) and kaolinite + nano clay (NC) (H-3) were prepared to investigate the effect of hybrid extender content on major properties of the paint. The results revealed that milling time and solvent weight had augmented and the paint including kaolinite + NC (H-3) showed the highest level of milling time (420 min) and solvent weight (63.9 g) among others. However, drying time and reflection did not show any significant difference. In addition, the findings confirmed the positive effect of the hybrid extender system on abrasion properties of the long oil alkyd paint. }, keywords = {Alkyd Paint,pigment,Extender,Titanium dioxide,Kaolinite}, url = {https://pccc.icrc.ac.ir/article_81627.html}, eprint = {https://pccc.icrc.ac.ir/article_81627_fcc403f6a4e4bf47933aac83f25a620a.pdf} } @article { author = {Hosseinnezhad, M. and Ghahari, M. and Shaki, H. and Movahedi, J.}, title = {Investigation of DSSCs Performance: The Effect of 1,8-naphthalimide Dyes and Na-doped TiO2}, journal = {Progress in Color, Colorants and Coatings}, volume = {13}, number = {3}, pages = {177-185}, year = {2020}, publisher = {Institute for Color Science and Technology (ICST)}, issn = {2008-2134}, eissn = {2383-1790}, doi = {10.30509/pccc.2020.81625}, abstract = {In this paper, we selected three organic dyes based on 1,8-naphthalimide as photosensitizers for DSSCs preparation.
