Description
Abstract:"Comprehensive Guide to Nano-hybrid Smart Coatings. The global cost of corrosion is estimated at US $2.5 trillion, or 3.4% of global GDP. Traditional coatings fall short of protecting against corrosion, but the emergence of nano-hybrid smart coatings has led to groundbreaking advances in the modern industrial landscape. The seamless integration of nanotechnology with intelligent design principles offers a multifaceted approach to enhancing efficiency and combating corrosion. This book covers the latest advancements in diverse fields including the aerospace, automotive, marine, biomedical, oil, and gas sectors, offering a comprehensive guide to the design, synthesis, properties, and applications of nano-hybrid smart coatings. Researchers, engineers, and professionals in materials science, coatings, corrosion, and related fields will gain a deeper understanding of these coatings and how they can be leveraged to address critical challenges while advancing sustainability goals."-- Provided by publisher.
