The project scope is to develop the knowledge in the obtaining of new nanostructured pseudo-binary oxides / prophyrins materials by using alternative processes for the thin films deposition (PLD and LBL drop casting) for achieving simple and sandwich types film configurations (steel / porphyrins / pseudo-binary oxides (S/P/PBO) or steel / pseudo-binary oxides / porphyrins(S/PBO/P)) with the purpose to improve anticorrosive properties through the synergistic effect of porphyrins and mixed oxides, increasing the adhesion and the uniformity of the films.

The project belongs to the sustainable chemistry by proposing biomimetic porphyrin structures, due to the chosen green chemistry techniques for materials synthesis and the application for corrosion inhibition of steel.
