Polymeric Corrosion Inhibitors for Greening the Chemical and Petrochemical Industry

Dr. Mohammad A. Jafar Mazumder obtained his Ph.D. from McMaster University, Canada; he joined as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM), Saudi Arabia, in 2012. Currently, he has been serving as an Associate Professor of Chemistry at KFUPM, Saudi Arabia. His current research interest includes design, synthesis, and characterization of various organic compounds and polymers for potential use in the inhibition of mild steel corrosion in oil and gas industries and polyelectrolyte coated membranes/resin for the removal of heavy metals and organic contaminants from aqueous water samples. Dr. Jafar Mazumder secured 7 US patents, published more than 70 articles in peer-reviewed journals, 37 conference abstracts/proceedings, 6 book chapters, and co-edited 4 books with Springer Nature and Trans Tech publications (h-index-15, citation > 950). He is a member of the American Chemical Society (ACS), Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC), Canadian Biomaterial Society (CBS), and a life member of Bangladesh Chemical Society (BCS). He is currently serving as an Editorial Board member of 4 International Journals. In his academic career, he awarded numerous national and international scholarships and awards that include the prestigious Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) Scholarship, Govt. of India for undergraduate studies, and MITACS postdoctoral fellowship (Canada) for pursuing postdoctoral research in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering.Dr. M. A. Quraishi is a Chair Professor at the Center of Research Excellence in Corrosion at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Saudi Arabia. Before joining KFUPM, he was a Full Professor in Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology BHU Varanasi. Dr. Quraishi also served as Head of the Chemistry IIT BHU Varanasi. He obtained a Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1986 at Kurukshetra University and D.Sc. in corrosion inhibition in 2004 from Aligarh Muslim University. He has published more than 300 papers (H index 74 Citations 17879) in reputed journals. Prof. Quraishi is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, UK. He has received several prestigious awards, including Life Time Achievement Awards (International Science Congress Association, ISCA, and National Corrosion Council of India), Meritorious and Excellence awards (NACE India), MASCOT award (Electrochemical Society Bangalore, India), Vigyan Ratna Award (Council of Science and Technology, India) He is a member of Editorial Board of >12 International Journals and Associate editor current Material Science Bentham Science. His current research area is the synthesis and applications of green corrosion inhibitors.Dr. Amir-Al-Ahmed is working as a Research Scientist-II (Associate Professor) in the Center of Research Excellence in Renewable Energy (CoRE-RE) at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM), Saudi Arabia. He graduated in chemistry from the Department of Chemistry, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), India. Then he completed his M.Phil. (2001) and Ph.D. (2003) degree in Applied Chemistry from the Department of Applied Chemistry, AMU, India, followed by three consecutive postdoctoral fellowships in South Africa and Saudi Arabia. He has been working on various multidisciplinary projects in particular, electrochemical sensors, nanomaterials, proton exchange membranes, DMFC, electro-catalysis, and solar cells during this period. At present, his research activity is fundamentally focused on 3rd generation solar cell devices, such as low bandgap semiconductor quantum dot structures, perovskite cells, and silicon base tandem cells. At the same time, he also has projects on heat energy storage, evaluation of electricity storage devices, and dust repellent coating for the Harsh Saudi Arabian weather condition. He has worked on different KACST, NSTIP, and Saudi Aramco funded projects in a co-investigator and principal investigator's capacity. Dr. Amir has 5 US patents, over 60 journa
