Electrochemical method for the preparation of high-quality nanostructured surfaces and functionalization through active biomolecules electrodepositions are highlighted in this work. There are two applied electrochemical methods in order to obtain hybrid and nanocomposite structured layers or advanced functionalization of material surfaces: (i) electrochemical oxidation or anodization of materials resulting nanoporous or nanostructured oxide films and (ii) direct electrochemical synthesis by electrocodeposition pro...

The marine environment is considered to be a highly aggressive environment for metallic materials used in the construction of the various elements of the structures. The aggressiveness of the marine environment is given by a number of chemical, physical and mechanical factors. They make maintenance of structures to be very difficult and very high costs are allocated. The phenomena of degradation by corrosion at level onshore and offshore are favored and accelerated by a number of factors related to long periods of...
