Abstract
Compositions with supramolecular structures for use in anticorrosive methods include a corrosion inhibitor; a supramolecular host chemical or a supramolecular guest chemical configured to engage in host-guest chemistry with the corrosion inhibitor; and a solvent. Methods of inhibiting corrosion on a surface or reducing the amount of anticorrosive composition within a system include adding an anti-corrosively effective amount of the composition to the system.
Claims22
An anticorrosive composition comprising:
- a corrosion inhibitor;
- a supramolecular host chemical or a supramolecular guest chemical configured to engage in host-guest chemistry with the corrosion inhibitor;
- and
- a solvent.
A method of reducing the corrosion rate of a metallic surface in contact with a fluid, which comprises:
- adding an anticorrosive composition in an anti-corrosively effective amount to the fluid, the composition comprising:
- a corrosion inhibitor;
- a supramolecular host chemical or a supramolecular guest chemical configured to engage in host-guest chemistry with the corrosion inhibitor;
- and
- a solvent.
