Partners

The project consortium comprises researchers from four partner countries (Slovenia, Belgium, Spain, and Netherlands) and consists of four partners, i.e., one research organization and three universities.

Project coordinator: dr. Anton Kokalj

Partner 1 (coordinator): Department of Physical and Organic Chemistry, Jožef Stefan Institute (Slovenia)

Role in the project: Computational multi-scale modelling and simulation; Electrochemical testing and characterization of corrosion resistance; Organic synthesis of corrosion inhibitors.

Partner 2: Institute for Materials Research, Hasselt University (Belgium)

Role in the project: In-situ and ex-situ characterization of the stability and mechanical properties of different type of corrosion inhibitors at the nanoscale and the kinetics of their adsorption, real-time monitoring of the nanoscale initiation and development of localized corrosion in crystalline and amorphous alloys. Use of novel flow cells with solution analysis (SFC-ICP-MS).

Partner 3: Department of Physics, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Spain)

Role in the project: Production of crystalline and amorphous metallic alloys; Computational modelling and simulation.

Partner 4: Materials Science and Engineering, Delft University of Technology (Netherlands)

Role in the project: Microscopic in-situ studies of mechanisms and kinetics of corrosion inhibitor interaction with copper model alloys, linking computational modelling and nanoscopic inhibitor-metal interaction studies with corrosion inhibition efficiency on a macroscopic scale by using novel and advanced local in-situ characterization techniques.
