Hardback, published 22 April 2015

272 pages
24.1 x 16.4 x 1.9 cm, 0.517 kg

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
