(2025) Exploring Marine Biomineralization on the Al-Mg Alloy as a Natural Process for In Situ LDH Growth to Improve Corrosion Resistance. In: ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2025, vol. 17 (6), p. 10038−10054. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.4c175321944-8244http://hdl.handle.net/10400.9/5619ABSTRACT: This study provides a detailed characterization of the AA5083 aluminum alloy, surface, and interface over 6 months of immersion in seawater, employing techniques such as SEM/EDX, GIXRD, mu-Raman and XPS. The purpose was to evaluate the evolution of the biomineralization process that occurs on the Al-Mg alloy. By investigating the specific conditions that favor the in situ growth of layered double hydroxide (LDH) during seawater immersion as a result of biomineralization, this research provides insights into marine biomineralization, highlighting its potential as an innovative and sustainable strategy for corrosion protection.engMaterialsCorrosion protectionSteelAluminium alloysBiomineralizationMarine corrosion inhibitionjournal article10.1021/acsami.4c17532
