Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Surface chemistry & adsorption; Materials science

Series: SpringerBriefs in Materials

This SpringerBrief utilizes a surface chemistry/physical chemistry approach toward the study of aqueous corrosion processes. The book starts with a timely and in-depth review of Acid-Base Properties of Surface Oxide Films. Acid-base properties are significant in various surface phenomena such as general and localized corrosion, corrosion inhibition by organic molecules, and the adhesion of organic polymers to oxide-covered metals. This review also discusses the relationship between the two measures of surface charge, the isoelectric point of the oxide film and the potential of zero charge of the oxide-covered metal. Other topics included are capillarity and corrosion, corrosion inhibition, passivity of Fe-Cr and Fe-Cr-Ni alloys, the uptake of chloride Ions and the pitting of aluminum, and the formation of water films on the iron oxide surface.

Dr. McCafferty's interests include corrosion and corrosion protection, localized corrosion, corrosion inhibition, models of passivity and its breakdown, oxide surfaces, surface modification techniques such as ion implantation and laser-surface processing, and the adhesion of organic polymers. Dr. McCafferty is a Fellow of the Electrochemical Society and is the 2007 recipient of the H. H. Uhlig Award of the Electrochemical Society for excellence in corrosion research. Dr. McCafferty is also Past Chairman of the Corrosion Division of the Electrochemical Society. He has received the Jerome Kruger Award in Corrosion Science, Baltimore-Washington Chapter of NACE (2003) and the Victor K. LaMer Award of the American Chemical Society (1971). Dr. McCafferty holds a B.S. in Chemistry from Wilkes College, an M.S. and Ph.D in Chemistry from Lehigh University, and an M.S. in Applied Mathematics from Johns Hopkins University. He has been a Visiting Scientist, Department of Chemistry and the Center for Adhesive and Sealant Science, Virginia Tech University (1996-1997) and a Robert A. Welch Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Texas with Prof. Norman Hackerman (1968-1970). He has also had industrial experience as a Research Engineer at the Bethlehem Steel Corporation (1955-1959).

Reviews for Surface Chemistry of Aqueous Corrosion Processes

“This book … presents a brief introduction into the surface chemistry occurring when corrosion in aqueous environment takes place. … After the text on theory and practice each chapter contains at its end a collection of references. Finally it can be summarized, that this book provides a survey of the author’s work related to the topic. It can be used as an entrance to this field.” (Ralph Bäßler, Materials and Corrosion, Vol. 67 (1), 2016)
