After undergoing a 12.5-pH cleaning and sterilization process 10 times, an anodized aluminum sample without the Micralox coating (left) shows more corrosion than a sample with the coating (right).

Metals may seem tough, but given enough time even plain old air can be their undoing. Oxygen reacts with it to form metal oxides like rust, but now it turns out a metal oxide may come to the rescue.

With the unique properties of nanomaterials, such as having a high surface-to-volume ratio and a diverse morphology and structure, they have become a desirable material for different applications.
