Biopolymers in Sustainable Corrosion Inhibition

<P><I>Biopolymers in Sustainable Corrosion Inhibition</I> covers the fundamentals, properties, and applications of biopolymers and considers their superiorities over traditional alternatives. It explores the synthesis, characterization, inhibition mechanism, and applications of biopolymeric anticorrosive materials.</P><P>Focusing on environmentally friendly corrosion prevention methods, this book demonstrates how biopolymers slow the corrosion rate and avoid economic losses owing to the metallic corrosion on industrial liners, tools, or surfaces. This book covers the sustainable corrosion inhibition potential of biopolymers and their derivatives, including chitosan, cellulose, chitin, starch, and natural gums.</P><P>This book will be a valuable reference for undergraduate and graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of biopolymers, corrosion science and engineering, environmental science, chemical engineering, green chemistry, and mechanical/industrial engineering.</P>
