Polymeric Materials in Corrosion Inhibition

Dr. Saviour A. Umoren is currently Associate Professor / Research Scientist at the Center of Research Excellence in Corrosion (CoRE-C), Research Institute, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM), in Saudi Arabia. He has 20 years of experience in teaching and research in both university and industrial environments in the field of corrosion inhibition, leading many research projects in the area of corrosion mitigation. He has authored or co-authored over 120 research articles in international peer reviewed journals, edited one book, contributed 10 book chapters, and is on the editorial board of 12 international journals. Dr. Umoren’s research interests cover the investigation of corrosion and corrosion inhibition phenomena in different environments, with his current research focusing on polymer composites and nanocomposites for corrosion protection and environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors development for industrial metals. Dr. Moses M. Solomon is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center of Research Excellence in Corrosion, at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, in Saudi Arabia. His research interests focus primarily on the development of green corrosion inhibitors for diverse kinds of aggressive environments using polymeric materials. Dr. Solomon has authored over 65 journal publications and contributed 6 book chapters. Viswanathan S. Saji is an Associate Professor at the Interdisciplinary Research Center for Advanced Materials, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. His current research interest lies in electrochemistry and energy materials.
