Greetings to all,
I want to ask about the effects of metal alkoxide when used as catalyst in a coating to both human and environment. I read that it is used quite a lot as a catalyst to produce a stronger coating by forming a metal-oxygen-metal bond. I just want to ask if it is suitable for the environment since I am planning to make a coating for a steel that will be immersed in sea. If it is not suitable, can you also suggest a more eco-friendly catalyst that I may look up and study on. Thank you.
Dear Dr. Wan Mohamad Ikhmal,
I suggest that you take a look at the following papers that I think may be useful for your research:

As said before by Dr. Curtis Guild
the recent trends are towards in “Green” and Sustainable Catalyst Development but this "challenge" is not easy at all ....Best regards, Pierluigi Traverso
Thank you for your sharing dear Dr. Pierluigi Traverso and Dr. Curtis Guild
