- Continued corrosion protection of aluminium alloy 2024 through layered double hydroxide UV-degradationPublication . Vieira, Daniel; Salak, A. N.; Vieira, J. M.; Brett, Christopher M.A.ABSTRACT: In the last decade, the necessity to improve corrosion protection has dramatically affected the industry. Layered double hydroxides emerge as a possibility to overcome this problem due to their ability as a carrier of corrosion protection species. In this work, cerium cations, which possess corrosion protection ability, were incorporated in the LDH structure via partial substitution of aluminium cations. The changes occurring to LDH when exposed for an extended period to UV-radiation and its degradation with release of Ce3+ from the hydroxide layers has been studied and is presented in this work.
