Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The utilization of metals and alloys has been on the increase due to rapid technological advancement and industrialization. Nevertheless, these widely used metallic materials are subject to degradation due to exposure to the environment. Several methods have been applied by scientists to address the problem of corrosion. One of the most successful methods to control metallic degradation remains the application of chemical inhibitors. Ionic liquids are renowned organic compounds with high adsorption abilities and exceptional properties which have drawn attention to their use as corrosion inhibitors. In contemporary years, different types of ionic liquids have been reported to showcase their effectiveness in protecting metallic surfaces from corrosive ions. This chapter discusses recent advancements in the utilization of highperformance ionic liquids as eco-friendly inhibitors in different corrosive environments, as documented in literature over the last three years.
