Abstract
Description
Plant biomaterials as inexpensive, nontoxic, biodegradable materials are found abundantly in nature.
They contain heteroatoms and/or pi electrons that make them candidate for metals corrosion inhibitor. In
recent years, numerous research works have been undertaken on plant biomaterials as metals corrosion
inhibitor in different corrosive media. This review critically looks at the researches done in the years
2013–2018. Corrosive environments covered include acidic, basic, neutral, aqueous, geothermal
fluid and
artificial saliva. The major
findings and the mechanism of inhibition has been elucidated. The missing gap
in this area of research has been pointed out and future direction proposed.
