Microbial Corrosion

Microbial Corrosion

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is a significant form of material degradation caused by the metabolic activities of microorganisms. This phenomenon poses substantial challenges across various industries, including oil and gas, maritime, and water treatment sectors.MIC occurs when microorganisms, such as bacteria, archaea, and fungi, colonize metal surfaces, forming biofilms that alter the local electrochemical environment. These biofilms can lead to the production of corrosive...

Background:

Ice accumulation poses significant risks to aviation, energy, transportation, and telecommunications infrastructure.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are advanced nanomaterials with unique thermal, electrical, and surface properties suitable for ice-prevention coatings.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the integration of pristine and modified CNTs in anti-icing and deicing coatings from 2016-2025.
To analyze the relationship between CNT surface characteristics and coating performance.
To provide insights into developing durable, climate-resilient CNT-based ice mitigation technologies.

Main Methods:

Critical review of scientific literature on CNT-based anti-icing/deicing coatings (2016-2025).
Analysis of synthesis methods, surface engineering techniques, and performance metrics.
Application of Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSPs) to predict CNT-matrix compatibility and icephobic performance.

Main Results:

CNTs enable both passive (superhydrophobic) and active (photothermal, electrothermal) ice mitigation strategies.
Coating efficacy strongly correlates with the physicochemical properties of CNT surfaces.
HSPs serve as a valuable predictive tool for material selection and performance optimization.

Conclusions:

CNT-based coatings represent a promising avenue for advanced anti-icing and deicing solutions.
Understanding structure-function relationships is key to designing scalable and resilient technologies.
Future research should focus on synergistic design strategies for enhanced durability and climate resilience.
