title: Langmuir-Blodgett films of salophen-based metallosurfactants as surface pretreatment coatings for corrosion mitigation.
abstract: Salophen-based metallosurfactants are successfully used as pretreatment LB films for corrosion mitigation in acidic and saline media. Passivation of electron transfer is clearly demonstrated in gold electrodes, while 99.5% iron substrates treated with such films show up to an impressive 30% corrosion mitigation.
