Prof. Milošev’s research topic is corrosion protection of metal surfaces exposed to corrosive environments, e.g. sea water (marine corrosion), human body (biocorrosion), corrosion in transportation industry, etc. Methods of interest include: (i) corrosion inhibitors, (ii) sol-gel coatings, (iii) conversion coatings based on rare earth salts or (iv) metal fluorides and (v) inorganic coatings. Surfaces may be modified by self-assembling from aqueous or organic solution, or by coating deposition using spin- or dip-coater deposition and atomic layer deposition (ALD). As substrates, various technological alloys (Al-, Cu-, Fe-alloys, etc) and biomedical alloys (Ti-, Co-, Fe-alloys) are of interest. Characterization and testing comprises electrochemical and surface analytical techniques and standardized corrosion testing.
