This book highlights research and technology on sustainable grafted biopolymers as corrosion inhibitors and details their rapidly emerging features and future research prospects. Various grafted biopolymer types and mechanisms of protection are also discussed as directly related to their macromolecular weights, chemical composition, and unique molecular and electronic structures. State-of-the-art of science & engineering of corrosion and an in-depth and step-by-step description of knowledge on various corrosion systems and their involvement in modern industry are carried out throughout the book. Each chapter aims to include an introduction, isolation and purification, synthesis methods, worked examples, current applications, detection methods, and future predictions for each type covered.
