About this title

Synopsis

Presents opportunities for making significant improvements in preventing harmful effects that can be caused by corrosion

• Describes concepts of molecular modeling in the context of materials corrosion
• Includes recent examples of applications of molecular modeling to corrosion phenomena throughout the text
• Details how molecular modeling can give insights into the multitude of interconnected and complex processes that comprise the corrosion of metals
• Covered applications include diffusion and electron transfer at metal/electrolyte interfaces, Monte Carlo simulations of corrosion, corrosion inhibition, interrogating surface chemistry, and properties of passive films
• Presents current challenges and likely developments in this field for the future
