Recent progress in epoxy resins as corrosion inhibitors: design and performance

The utilization of organic compounds has been established to be perhaps the best, most proficient, and most powerful method for controlling corrosion. Organic compounds extend into benefits by complexing at the metal-environment interface applying their electron-dense centers, which are known as binding centers. Though, because they have small molecular size, they do not have satisfactory corrosion protection. Accordingly, there is an exceptional requirement for major atomic changes. Toward this path, unique accentuation is put on the utilization of epoxy resins (ERs)-based synthetic monomers as inhibitors for corrosion. The nature of the structure that includes polar functional groups makes the monomers adsorb strongly on the metal surface and give remarkable metal protection. This review report gives a concise outline of the most recent improvements in the utilization of ERs as corrosion inhibitors. This report gives a short outline of the consumption and general utilization of various sorts of ERs and corrosion inhibition processes.

Automated summary

The utilization of organic compounds has been proven to be an effective method for controlling corrosion, but significant atomic changes are needed due to their small molecular size. Using epoxy resins as inhibitors can provide excellent metal protection.
