Performance of Sprayed PVDF-AlO Composite Coating for Industrial and Civil Applications.

Because of their great water repellency, Superhydrophobic coatings have a major impact on a variety of industrial applications. The current study's key originality is the development of low-cost, stable, superhydrophobic, and corrosion-resistant composite coatings. In the present work, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/AlO composite coatings were produced using the spray technique to investigate the wettability and corrosion behavior of the coated materials for industrial and civil applications.

Residual CO2 trapping in Indiana limestone.

We performed core flooding experiments on Indiana limestone using the porous plate method to measure the amount of trapped CO(2) at a temperature of 50 °C and two pressures: 4.2 and 9 MPa. Brine was mixed with CO(2) for equilibration, then the mixture was circulated through a sacrificial core.
