Cyprus International University PhD graduate and Assoc. Prof invent Biomediated-Titanium Nanocomposite for corrosion protection

Here's a new development from Cyprus International University alumnus Dr. Edidiong A. Essien and Assoc. Professor, Doga Kavaz who both invented an industrial application for Corrosion Protection using Biomediated-Titanium Nanocomposite with US patent NO.: US 2020/0255734 A1

They did this in collaboration with their colleagues from King Fahd university of Petroleum and Minerals.

They invented a method of inhibiting corrosion of steel using Olive leaf extract. Aspects of this technology are described in the article Edidiong A. Essien, DogaKavaz, Ekemini B. Ituen & Saviour A. Umoren (2018) Synthesis, characterization and anticorrosion property of olive leaves extract-titanium nanoparticles composite, Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology, 32:16, 1773-1794,
