Research activity
Research Fields
- represents molecular modeling and computer simulation of chemical carcinogenesis and microwave chemistry with rational drug design
- include the study of kinetics and reaction’s mechanisms on the corroded metal surfaces in the systems, which have not been studied yet. Researches are focused on:
- chemical resistant steels in model solutions of aggressive media
- inhibitors of corrosion processes with the surfactant use
- the use of green surfactants
- protective coatings on metals
- corrosion at high temperatures and pressures
- corrosion of alluminium
- Measurements are performed with the potentiodynamic method, instruments measuring electrochemical noise and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
