Corrosion of metal prevention using chalcone molecules..

“

Chalcones can be a green corrosion inhibitor. we are currently working on many more such derivatives. Corrosion inhibition by organic compounds are one of the active research area around the world. A glance of the literature show that almost any compound with heteroatom could be having some potential as inhibitor. However, researchers less focus on cost of such compounds limiting their practical applications, if any. In this context chalcones will be of interest as they are cheap and easily scalable.
