Metal corrosion is one of the oldest problems in industrial world. Limitations of current coating materials lead researchers to study about green and sustainable material called geopolymer. Geopolymer is an aluminosilicate rich inorganic polymer which has a potential to be a good coating for metal substrates in many corrosive environments.
