DATACOR - “Smart Data to Design Corrosion Inhibitors” is a project that is running at the University of Aveiro (UA), in Portugal, and involves a multidisciplinary team with expertise in molecular modeling, machine learning and corrosion science to obtain a predictive of model of corrosion inhibitor efficiencies of organic compounds. Machine learning techniques use a combination of experimental corrosion data with information obtained by means of computational calculations for the adsorption and self-assembly of corrosion inhibitors onto metallic surfaces. 

​

DataCor is accelerating the discovery of new organic corrosion inhibitors to be embedded in coatings for the protection of metallic alloys and substitute extremely hazardous traditional technologies.
