Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Corrosion Behaviors and Protection”. Corrosion protection in the form of coating is a promising method of protecting material surfaces from external damage in different environments. However, there is a need to put in place a long-lasting method of protecting these coatings in order to prevent failure.
This Special Issue aims to promote the effectiveness of coatings and corrosion protection-related activities as a viable way of reducing the corrosion of metallic materials to the minimum, especially in aggressive environments. The development of coated materials and alloys with high corrosion resistance properties for various applications is the focus of this Special Issue. Different ways on how to protect and sustain the coatings for effective performance is also of high importance.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: Corrosion protection in high temperature environments, organic and inorganic coatings, metal selection and surface conditions, corrosion inhibitors, polymeric coatings, anti-corrosion coatings for metallic materials, etc.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Temitope Olugbade
Guest Editor
