Fabrication of a new effective corrosion inhibitor from 8-Hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) complex with metal cations (Ca2+, Co2+, Zn2+) oriented to replace traditional chromate inhibitor compounds to protect against corrosion for carbon steel.
Training staff, helping local research groups have the opportunity to new research directions and advanced equipment in the world.

Research introduces new environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor compounds oriented to replace harmful commercial inhibitors compounds such as Cr (VI).

After finishing the project, the research team received a lot of valuable experience from French researchers. The implementation of cooperation with Prof. Nadine Pébère helped the team carry out the task of further research on methodology of evaluating results in the field of corrosion protection of metals and organic coatings. The research team also had the opportunity to access new, modern techniques and equipments. In addition, the group also contacted and discussed with other research groups in other fields working at CIRIMAT and surrounding areas, opening up opportunities for new scientific and technological cooperation relationships.
International cooperation is very important, this is a channel to maintain the friendly cooperative relationship between Vietnam and France, and a solution to help local scientists to exchange, learn and receive a lot of scientific knowledge as well as be exposed to modern analytical measuring equipment. Therefore, the implementation of bilateral cooperation projects is really necessary and should be maintained. However, due to differences in geographical and cultural, the travel and scientific exchange between the two sides often takes more money and time than domestic scientific cooperation. Therefore, to be able to well carry out international cooperation tasks and obtain quality joint scientific products, I would like to proposes that the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology should increase the funding and the duration of the cooperation project are higher than the presence.
