About This Topic
Corrosion remains one of the most critical challenges threatening the durability, safety, and economic viability of structural and functional materials across a wide range of industries. As materials are increasingly exposed to aggressive environments—whether in energy systems, biomedical devices, transportation infrastructure, or marine applications—developing effective, sustainable protection strategies is essential. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in the characterization of corrosion processes and the design of innovative protective solutions, including smart coatings, green inhibitors, and novel nanostructured materials. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary approaches combining materials science, electrochemistry, spectroscopy, and surface engineering. Contributions addressing experimental, theoretical, and computational perspectives are welcomed, particularly those that provide deep insight into the mechanisms of degradation and propose pathways for enhancing long-term performance in complex environments. By bringing together cutting-edge research, this issue seeks to foster knowledge exchange and encourage sustainable innovations in corrosion control.

Abstract
Mild steel has tendency to form a protective film in caustic environments; however, elevated temperatures and freshly exposed metal surfaces usually prevent stable film formation—leading to rapid and active corrosion rate of mild steel. This study reports the potential of using ethanol extract of African peach leaf as alternative corrosion [...]

Abstract
This study explores the use of plant extract to reduce corrosion on low-carbon steel reinforcement embedded in concrete. It is globally known that structures exposed to corrosive environments can collapse due to deterioration of the steel rods embedded in the concrete. The corrosion-inhibition potential of leaves, bark, and root extracts of [...]
