Development of Research on Corrosion Inhibitors for Copper and Its Alloys

Introduction of corrosion inhibitors is a kind of efficient methods to resolve the corrosion problems of copper and its alloys in piping system.The status of research on organic,inorganic and natural polymer corrosion inhibitors as well as the technique of self-assembled monolayer for improving the corrosion resistance of copper and its alloys is reviewed.The future development trend of these corrosion inhibitors is also involved.
