Guwahati, Nov. 26 -- Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati have developed a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating to protect steel structures exposed to seawater and high-salinity environments.

The findings of this research have been published in the prestigious journal Advanced Engineering Materials, in a paper co-authored by Prof. Chandan Das, Dept. of Chemical Engineering, IIT Guwahati, and research scholar Dr Anil Kumar.

Corrosion is a natural and gradual process that weakens metal surfaces and shortens the lifespan of essential structures, particularly those exposed to saltwater environments, such as offshore platforms, coastal bridges, port infrastructure, and marine pipelines. It has also played a role in major i...
