Cover Story: Corrosion and corrosion-protection-related issues are and have always been a topic of great interest for modern societies considering the non-negligible cost of corrosion on the annual product of industrial countries. The protection of steel against corrosion goes by the application of organic and inorganic coatings to counter the inevitable degradation of steel when exposed to environmental stresses. The coating industry is always reinventing itself, firstly to continuously find innovative and better anticorrosion solutions and secondly to comply with volatile organic compounds reducing policy. This has led to the design of different types of products such as waterborne coatings, high-solid coatings, and powder coatings. View this paper
