Synergism alloys

The corrosion of copper by carbonic acid deserves special attention. There is a synergism between oxygen and carbonic acid with regard to corrosion. Carbonic acid in the absence of oxygen is not corrosive to most copper alloys. However, corrosivity can be appreciable if oxygen is present. 

Polypropylene block and graft copolymers are efficient blend compatibilizers. These materials allow the formation of alloys, for example, isotactic polypropylene with styrene-acrylonitrile polymer or polyamides, by enhancing the dispersion of incompatible polymers and improving their interfacial adhesion. Polyolefinic materials of such types afford property synergisms such as improved stiffness combined with greater toughness. 

The problems are mainly with point (3). Some authors point to the fact that in some cases the activity of alloys is higher than that of pure metals, and they conclude that such synergism cannot be explained without... 

Despite phenomenological understanding, the action of synergism is not resolved. It is presently uncertain whether true alloying occurs and what size... 

It is possible to make completely new types of composites by combining different resources. It is possible to combine, blend, or alloy leaf, bast and stick fiber with other materials such as glass, metals, plastics, and synthetics to produce new classes of materials. The objective is to combine two or more materials in such a way that a synergism between the components results in a new material that is much better than the individual components. 

Alloy nanoparticles have attracted increasing attention because they display structures and properties that are distinct from those of the pure elemental clusters. A recent review by Eerrando et highlights that their chemical and physical properties may be tuned by varying the composition, atomic ordering, and size of the clusters. Surface structures, composition, and segregation properties of nanoalloys are important in determining chemical reactivity and especially catalytic activity. Synergism is sometimes observed in catalysis by bimetallic nanoalloys. 

The role of a seeond element in methanol oxidation on Pt alloy catalysts depends on how to lower the potential of water dissociation, to weaken the CO ehemisorption, and to direetly enhanee the electrooxidation of CO on Pt. It is obvious that none of the binary alloy catalyst, even the most used Pt-Ru catalyst, contains all of flic promoting effects simultaneously. The purpose of exploring ternary and quaternary Pt alloy catalysts is to combine all of the promoting effects into one alloy system to maximize the catalytic MOR activity. For example, Kim et al. [61] ascribed the enhancement of MOR activity on the Pt-Ru-Sn ternary alloy to the synergic effects of Ru as a water activator and Sn as an electronic modifier. Samjeske et al. [62] explained the synergic effect of Mo and Ru in the Pt-Ru-Mo ternary alloy by the way that Mo can shift the oxidation of weakly adsorbed CO on the Ru sites to lower potentials, facilitating the bi-functional effect. 

Synergism Arrangement or mixture of materials in which the total resulting performance is greater than the sum of the effects taken independendy such as with alloying/blending plastics. 

The entrapped alloy is a powerful catalyst for the hydrogenation of alkynes, arenes and ketones. The unusually high activity is attributed to the synergism between the two metal nuclea. The catalyst can be reused repeatedly without loss in activity not only for one and the... 

Published literature also deals with the effect of the incorporation of REM salts in mixed aqueous media in order to inhibit the corrosion of different metallic materials. An example is the addition of Ce ions to flowing ethylene glycol-water solutions to inhibit the corrosion of aliuninum alloy 3003 used in refrigerating systems (Liu and Cheng, 2011). However, in recent years, the most innovative developments in this area of REM salt corrosion inhibitors have involved the study of the synergic effects of the mixtures of these rare earths with various organic and inorganic compounds. 

Prof. Zhao-Xiong Xie and co-workers at Xiamen University have developed a Cu " "-assisted synthesis process and obtained hexoctahedral (HOH) Au-Pd alloy nanocrystals enclosed with 431 high-index facets. In the shape-controlled synthesis, the Cu UPD was found to play a key role in formation of the HOH Au-Pd alloy NCs. It has tested that the as-prepared HOH Au-Pd alloy NCs exhibited excellent performance in terms of both formic acid electrooxidation and methanol tolerance due to synergism between the high-index facets and the alloy.
