This book focuses on corrosion and microbial corrosion, providing solutions for these problems by using nanotechnology and nanobiotechnology. It introduces the causes, consequences, cost and control of corrosion processes. It gives a particular emphasis on microbial corrosion of steel and other metals in oil, gas and shipping industries. The book presents the materials vulnerable to such kind of corrosion, and focus on the use of nanotechnology to control such, using nanomaterials as corrosion inhibitors.
