Lutkenhaus, Jodie L.; Suarez-Martinez, Pilar C.; Nahas, Robert C.; Robinson, Jerome R. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 6/14/2022)A coating for protecting a substrate from corrosion includes a first layer having a first composition applied on the substrate. The coating has a thickness of at least 0.5 μm. The first composition includes an intercalated ...
