Polymeric nanoparticles and their composites in corrosion inhibition

Metal hardware is inherently prone to corrosion. Substantial research has been undertaken to explore to supersede this challenge. Initially, paints, pigments and organic coatings were utilized to circumvent metal corrosion. Lately, polymer composites and nanocomposites have become favored anticorrosion agents, especially epoxy, polyethylene glycol, polyaniline and polystyrene. The future research on poly- mer nanocomposites has the potential to address the current challenges of metal corrosion.
