Volatile Organic Corrosion Inhibitors : Principles and Industrial Applications

Volatile Organic Corrosion Inhibitors covers the contributions of volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCIs) to improved durability, sustainability, and operational efficiency across various sectors, including aerospace, automotive, mining, and marine industries. It demonstrates how they serve as a cost-effective and ecologically-friendly solution to protect metallic structures from the adverse effects of moisture, oxygen, and other corrosive elements. Describing the unique mechanism that produces vapor molecules to build a protective molecular layer on metal surfaces, the book explains how VCIs prevent moisture and other corrosive elements and considerably extend the lifespan of metal. It examines how these inhibitors can effectively safeguard confined spaces and regions, making them especially helpful in industries with regular production, storage, and shipping. The book will interest researchers and graduate students studying corrosion science, heterocyclic chemistry, material science and engineering, energy, and chemistry. It will also be a valuable reference for corrosion scientists and R&D engineers working in industrial corrosion and industrial-based corrosion protection systems.
