Proceedings Of The 7th International Cor

This book gathers the latest research, innovations, and applications in the field of corrosion prevention and control, as presented by leading national and international academics, researchers, engineers, and postgraduate students at the AWAM International Conference on Civil Engineering 2022 (AICCE’22), held 7th International Corrosion Prevention Symposium for Research Scholars (CORSYM 2021), held as a virtual conference on November 2021. The CORSYM 2021 theme, Nurturing Future Corrosionist for Better Corrosion Mitigation, covered key topics such as corrosion and inhibitors, corrosion of biomaterials, top of line corrosion, H2S and CO2 corrosion, coatings and composites for biomedical devices, electrochemical testing techniques, advanced materials and coatings, corrosion in concrete structures, welding and hot Corrosion, corrosion in ships and marine structures, corrosion of biomaterials, corrosion Under insulation, digitalization in corrosion. The contributions introduce numerousexciting ideas that spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaborations between various specialists in the field of corrosion engineering.

Zaidi Embong is a Professor of Applied Physics at Faculty of Applied Sciences and Technology (FAST), Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM). He received his PhD from the University of Bristol, United Kingdom. His expertise is in the field of surface science, and his research focuses primarily on metal surface oxidation studies. He is also well known as an international peer reviewer for several high impact journals such as Applied Surface Science, Elsevier and Journal of Alloys and Compounds, Elsevier, and has received two high prestige awards from Elsevier, "Outstanding Contributions in Reviewing" for both high impact journals. His expertise in advanced surface analysis techniques such as X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) and Laser Raman Spectroscopy is one of the key factors recognised by the Malaysia Board of Technologists (MBOT) for certification as a Professional Technologist (Ts) in Malaysia. His publications include over 100 papers in Scopus and WOS referred journals. He is currently a Principal Researcher at UTHM's Intergraded Institute of Engineering (IIE).

Norinsan Kamil Othman, PhD, is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Physics, Faculty of Science and Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), has his expertise in corrosion science.
