Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Green corrosion inhibitors and functional anti-corrosion coatings are at the forefront of sustainable materials science, aiming to protect metals from degradation without harming the environment. This abstract highlights the development of eco-friendly inhibitors that utilize natural compounds and non-toxic materials to prevent corrosion. It also discusses the integration of these inhibitors into advanced coatings that not only resist corrosion, but also offer additional functionalities, such as self-healing, thermal insulation, and enhanced mechanical properties. The focus is on the synthesis, characterization, and application of these innovative materials, emphasizing their potential to revolutionize the field of corrosion protection while promoting environmental sustainability.
This Special Issue is dedicated to the advancement of green corrosion inhibitors and the development of multifunctional anti-corrosion coatings. We invite scholars and researchers to contribute their latest findings in the field of sustainable materials that address the pressing need for environmentally benign corrosion control solutions.
