Synopsis

This book covers the use of nanomaterials to prevent corrosion. The first section deals with the fundamentals of corrosion prevention using nanomaterials. Part two includes a series of case studies and applications of nanomaterials for corrosion control.

Key Features: explores the potential use of nanotechnology and nanomaterials for corrosion prevention, protection and control; discusses the impact of nanotechnology in reducing corrosion cost and investigates various factors on the corrosion behaviour of nanocrystalline materials; provides a series of case studies and applications of nanomaterials for corrosion control.

Contents: Part 1 Corrosion behaviour and manufacture of nanocrystalline materials: The impact of nanotechnology in reducing corrosion cost; Corrosion and nanomaterials: thermodynamic and kinetic factors; Understanding the corrosion resistance of nanocrystalline materials: the influence of grain size; Understanding the corrosion resistance of nanocrystalline materials: electrochemical influences; Electrodeposition: the versatile technique for nanomaterials. Part 2 The use of nanomaterials in corrosion control: Moderate temperature oxidation protection using nanocrystalline structures; High temperature oxidation protection using nanocrystalline coatings; Nanocoatings to improve the tribocorrosion performance of materials; Self-healing nanocoatings for corrosion control; The use of nanoreservoirs in corrosion protection coatings; Nanoparticle-based corrosion inhibitors and self-assembled monolayers; Sol-gel nanocoatings for corrosion protection; Polymer nanocomposites in corrosion control; Nanocoatings for corrosion protection of aerospace alloys; Nanoscience and biomaterial corrosion control.
