Synopsis
This book covers corrosion protection of metals and alloys using graphene and biopolymer composites, which currently represent the greener alternatives to anti-corrosive coatings. Several investigations (electrochemical, engineering, and surface) have been carried out to better understand the corrosion process in metals and alloys, particularly steel, and its control. The flexibility of graphene film, or its oxide, and its variability to combine has a significant impact in corrosion protection. Nanocomposites of graphene provide an eco-friendly, strong, and efficient inhibitor of corrosion, and biopolymers and organic films also provide promising and enhanced corrosion resistant technology.
Synopsis
With contributions from experts from both academia and industry, this book provides up-to-date reviews and promising approaches for corrosion control of metals and alloys via sustainable biopolymers and carbon nanomaterials coatings, focusing on the wonder material "graphene" which is more solid than steel.
This book delivers essential information for improving the environmental and economic viability of current coating technologies. It is also a valuable reference for those who are interested in corrosion science and corrosion protection including professionals from the industry as well as academia.
