Theses - ALL

Abstract: Corrosion of metallic biomaterials in biomedically-relevant environments depends on the local physical and chemical structure of the metal surface at the metal-solution interface, and the geometry of the electrode system. Local surface structure, including defects, inclusions, and grain boundaries may locally alter the electrode behavior, while local geometries, including crevice-like geometries or small electrode areas will give rise to specific changes in electrochemical behavior. Methods to detect local defects or surface flaws electrochemically may be possible with the appropriate combination of microelectrodes and pipette geometries. In order to have a better understanding of the localized electrochemical behavior under given …
