Adsorption of organic compounds in metals

What is it about?

This work deals with the capacity of gold and silver to adsorb 2 organic compounds, capable of reducing the corrosion rate of metals. This, paper tries to create new knowledge about their adsorption capabilities on ideal noble metals who are prone to interact with this kind of organic compounds. With the idea of extrapolating the new data to other metals, such as copper, who are prone to corrode in aggressive environments.

Why is it important?

This paper is relevant because it makes contributions towards the understanding of the adsoprtion mechanisms of organic compounds in noble metals, showing that the affinity of the functional groups in the organic molecules studied allows physical bonding even in the abscence of corrosion attacks.
