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.
