His scientific interests lie mostly in Metallurgy, Analytical chemistry, Corrosion, Barrier layer and Inorganic chemistry. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Passivity and Anode. His research in Analytical chemistry intersects with topics in Thermal, Layer, Dielectric spectroscopy, Electrochemistry and Electrical impedance.
To a larger extent, Digby D. Macdonald studies Composite material with the aim of understanding Corrosion. He combines subjects such as Oxide, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, Dissolution, Crystallographic defect and Metal with his study of Barrier layer. His Inorganic chemistry research integrates issues from Passivation, Ionic conductivity, Transition metal, Buffer solution and Aqueous solution.
His primary areas of study are Corrosion, Metallurgy, Inorganic chemistry, Electrochemistry and Analytical chemistry. His studies in Corrosion integrate themes in fields like Barrier layer, Dielectric spectroscopy and Oxide. His Barrier layer study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Metal and Dissolution.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Metallurgy, Nickel is strongly linked to Passivity. The Inorganic chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Hydrogen, Anode, Oxygen, Aqueous solution and Chloride. His work deals with themes such as Polarization and Thermodynamics, which intersect with Electrochemistry.
His main research concerns Corrosion, Electrochemistry, Metallurgy, Barrier layer and Chemical engineering. His Corrosion research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Alloy, Dielectric spectroscopy and Oxide. Digby D. Macdonald has researched Electrochemistry in several fields, including Hydrogen, FLiNaK, Semiconductor, Graphite and Analytical chemistry.
In Metallurgy, Digby D. Macdonald works on issues like Salt, which are connected to Galvanic cell. His Barrier layer research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Quantum tunnelling, Metal, Vacancy defect and Chloride. The various areas that Digby D. Macdonald examines in his Composite material study include Passivity and Growth rate.
