Glycogen nanoparticles as a potential corrosion inhibitor.

Biological macromolecules are proven to be potential green corrosion inhibitors because of their outstanding structural features and eco-friendliness. This study is aimed at enhancing their corrosion mitigation capabilities by converting them into nanoparticles. This is the first work where nanoparticles of biological macromolecules are exploited for corrosion mitigation studies.

Maltodextrin for corrosion mitigation of zinc in sulfamic acid: Electrochemical, surface and spectroscopic studies.

Maltodextrin (MLD), a biopolymer was introduced as a novel green inhibitor to mitigate the corrosion of zinc in sulfamic acid medium by weight loss and by electrochemical methods. Conditions were optimized to obtain maximum inhibition efficiency. Thermodynamic parameters were evaluated.

Pullulan as a potent green inhibitor for corrosion mitigation of aluminum composite: Electrochemical and surface studies.

This work emphasizes the corrosion inhibition ability of pullulan, an environmentally benign fungal polysaccharide on acid corrosion of 6061Aluminum-15% SiC composite material (Al-CM). The electrochemical measurements such as potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies were carried out for the corrosion inhibition studies. Conditions were optimized to obtain maximum inhibition efficiency, by performing the experiment at varying concentrations of inhibitor, in the temperature range of 308K- 323K.

Carbohydrate biopolymer for corrosion control of 6061 Al-alloy and 6061Aluminum-15% SiC composite-Green approach.

The acid corrosion control of 6061Aluminum alloy and 6061Al-15%(v) SiC composite material (Al-CM) was carried by using inulin - a carbohydrate polymer as a green inhibitor. Potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were adopted. Concentration of inulin was in the range of 0.
