Abstract
Description
Recently, the widespread of the applications of metallic materials in various spheres and
fields or discipline in material science and engineering cannot be overemphasized. Alongside
this great progression in the adoption of these material for use, the corrosion problems
associated with these metals are also gradually becoming alarming which has birthed a call to
action for immediate and sustainable efforts to salvage the problem. Several inhibitors have
been developed in a bid to mitigate this corrosive ordeal facing a lot of industries, but
inorganic inhibitors have some vital some shortcomings in form of poisonous substances
which on the long run affects the surrounding. The pitfalls from non-organic inhibitors poised
the drive of other researchers to develop a better, non-poisonous and organic inhibitive
substances like Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) that will mitigate corrosion without any
negative residual effect on either the metallic materials or the environment. The DNA
corrosion inhibitors have very good potential and economic owing to the source of extraction
which is plant and animal waste which is in line with wealth generation prospect from waste
product.
