Chapter 9: Mesoporous Materials for Corrosion Protection of Metallic Compounds

During the past decade to recent years, mesoporous materials such as polymer, metal oxide, zeolite, and silica have been used for corrosion inhibition over a metallic surface. This becomes a potential aspect for academic research and industries due to the huge application as a self-healing activity against corrosion. This chapter discusses the recent advances and gives a concise description regarding the vital applications of different types such as mesoporous materials for corrosion protection. Impregnating coatings with corrosion inhibitors is an innovative way to improve their active corrosion resistance. This could result in corrosion inhibitors being lost in a short amount of time, as well as unwanted interactions with the coating. Corrosion inhibitors can be inserted into the host particles and integrated into the coating matrix to protect against these difficulties. Researchers have used organic or inorganic mesoporous materials that act as a host for corrosion inhibitors, to protect against anticorrosion chemicals, which has received a lot of interest. The major goal of this chapter is to look into various types of mesoporous materials, working as corrosion prohibitory substrates for metallic compounds.
