Abstract

Corrosion remains a significant challenge in various industries, leading to material degradation, economic loss, and safety concerns. Nanotechnology offers innovative strategies for corrosion protection through the development of advanced coatings, inhibitors, and nanocomposite materials. This paper reviews recent advancements in nanotechnology-based corrosion protection techniques, focusing on the synthesis, characterization, and application of nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, nanotubes, and nanocomposites. The integration of nanotechnology enhances barrier properties, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance, offering sustainable and efficient solutions for corrosion mitigation. The study highlights challenges and future perspectives for industrial applications.
