Abstract:

Significant concerns with corrosion might occur in terms of assurance, the natural world, and financial damage. One key piece of innovation toward preventing metallic corrosion includes the application of corrosion inhibitors. The polymer inhibitions of corrosion constitute the most promising areas for advancing of new corrosion inhibitors because they have more excellent adherence locations, higher temperature rebellion, versatility, viscosity, and superior filming capacity than smaller molecule corrosion inhibitors. The present review examines the development of natural and synthetic polymers for anti-corrosion agents. Such polymeric anti-corrosion agents work very well at inhibiting corrosion and do not need a high molecular weight. At this point, we examine the published literature on polymeric corrosion inhibitors and discuss how to improve them for use in the industry.
