About this book

This book focuses on corrosion and microbial corrosion, providing solutions for these 
problems based on nanotechnology and nanobiotechnology. It introduces the causes, 
consequences, cost and control of corrosion processes. It gives a particular emphasis 
on microbial corrosion of steel and other metals in oil, gas and shipping industries. 
The book presents the materials vulnerable to such kind of corrosion, and the use of 
nanomaterials to control it.
