Synthesis of Polymer Nano-composite coatings as corrosion inhibitors: A quick review

Abstract

Corrosion - a big worldwide issue that destroys metal as its interaction takes place with the atmosphere. In recent years, polymer Nanocomposite coatings emerge as eminent materials for corrosion resistance. Coating means to deploy a layer over the metal interface that provides a shield to metal against corrosion. Polymer Nanocomposites are economic, Eco friendly, exhibits great mechanical strength, self-healing property, durability, chemical inhibition, and thermal stability that is the reason they have been widely used in various fields like an oil field, marine, defense, engineering industry and health industry too as corrosion inhibitors. In this review, the application of various polymer Nano-composites materials for corrosion inhibition with synthesis technique through reported materials are explored also we are identifying challenges that occur for the development of such Nanostructure coatings and overcoming that challenge for the future aspect of this field.
