The Talk: Advances in the technology of corrosion inhibitor Synopsis: The talk focuses on the role of corrosion inhibitors in mitigating corrosion of reinforced concrete (RC), a primary cause of structural deterioration. Corrosion initiates when the protective passive film on reinforcing steel is destabilized due to reduced pore solution pH or increased chloride concentration, allowing aggressive ions to penetrate concrete and induce localized corrosion. Among various physical and electrochemical protection methods, corrosion inhibitors are widely adopted as a cost-effective solution to extend service life. Used in low concentrations, inhibitors reduce corrosion rates and may offer additional self-healing functionality. They are classified based on chemical composition, application method, and protection mechanism. The talk will discuss inhibitor performance in different aggressive environments, with emphasis on emerging green inhibitors exhibiting self-sensing and self-healing capabilities.
