“… Naidu and Joseph (2022) state that corrosion in reinforced concrete happens when an aggressive substance, such as chloride, diffuses into the reinforcement. Although there are several ways to prevent corrosion, using inhibitors is still the most popular method ( Saha et al, 2015b ; Saha et al, 2015a ; Saha et al, 2016 ; Saha et al, 2019 ; Saha et al, 2021 ; Fouda et al, 2022 ; Saha et al, 2022 ; Wang et al, 2022 ; Bijapur et al, 2023 ; Li et al, 2023 ). Prior research has extensively examined the application of synthetic organic compounds with heteroatoms, heterocyclic rings, and aromatic rings to reduce corrosion aggression on steel.…”
