Corrosion Science

Corrosion studies have attracted considerable interest in the areas of materials chemistry and industrial chemistry, as it affects the direct and indirect costs of industry, leading to huge economic setbacks due to the need for repair, maintenance, and even shutdowns due corrosion damage. This new volume is a comprehensive resource that presents new and up-to-date, theoretical, and experimental corrosion inhibition studies.Corrosion Science: Theoretical and Practical Applications provides an introduction and overview of corrosion science and presents theoretical and experimental studies to mitigate damage from corrosion. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective, this volume is a rich resource of studies and experiments toward solutions that are cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and low in maintenance.The chapters cover an array of topics on the study of corrosion science, exploring different types of materials and various methods of corrosion inhibition. Topics include the use of oil and plant extracts, the application of density functional theory to study anticorrosiove effects, the use of infrared spectroscopy, the introduction of new hybrid sol-gel coatings, an atomistic simulation method, a dynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (DEIS) technique, and much more.This book offers important information on the mechanisms of corrosion science in theory and practice as well as a wealth of corrosion prevention and protection methods.
