By Cameron Chai Research and Markets has included a new book
titled ‘Corrosion Protection and Control Using Nanomaterials’
from Woodhead Publishing to its offering. The potential
application of various nanomaterials in corrosion protection and
control is a topic of increasing interest. The new book
investigates the potential application of nanotechnology in
controlling corrosion, a cost-consuming and potentially harmful
issue in most of the industries. The book comprises two parts,
wherein part one describes the basics of corrosion behavior and
the production of nanocrystalline materials, while part two
features several case studies pertaining to the use of
nanomaterials in controlling corrosion. Chapters cover
nanotechnology’s impact in decreasing corrosion cost and explore
the impact of a number of factors such as grain size, kinetics
and thermodynamics on the corrosion behavior of nanomaterials.
They also discuss the electrodeposition process and
electrodeposited nanocrystalline materials’ corrosion behavi
