Recent Advances in Corrosion Science: A Critical Overview and a Deep Comprehension

Abstract

Science and the technology of corrosion science are moving from one visionary phase to another. Corrosion has negative effects on the progress of engineering science. Scientific endeavor needs to be bolstered and scientific understanding needs to be re-envisioned as science moves from one decade toward another. Nanotechnology and material science are on the other side of the visionary coin of corrosion science. In this chapter, the author thoroughly discusses the visionary arena of corrosion science, its recent advances, and the futuristic trends in research and development initiatives. This treatise also widely observes the immense technological challenges, the scientific vision, and the scientific doctrine behind the domain of corrosion science. A scientist’s vision, mankind’s immense scientific prowess, and academic rigor will go a long way in the true emancipation of corrosion science and material science today. Chemical process engineering and material science are moving in the direction of deeper scientific understanding and scientific ingenuity. This chapter details corrosion processes, formation of metal complexes, and the futuristic trends in research in corrosion processes.
