Metallic corrosion is a destructive, hazardous phenomenon that causes techno-economic, environmental, and human loss. The utilization of corrosion inhibitors is an extraordinary way to control metals' corrosion; these are made out of natural or organic/inorganic compounds. By virtue, these organic/inorganic compounds significantly impact ecology, which has constrained the quest for more user-friendly inhibitors. Owing to their eco-friendliness, sustainability, and non-toxicity, natural gums are gaining more importance. Uncontrolled hydration rates, pH, and thermal instability are some of the problems associated with gums. The availability of hydroxyl groups and feasibility of the modification for introducing heteroatoms on the backbone of the gums, combined with various surfactants or salts of halides, can potentially be utilized, which can increase their sustainability. A general survey of the work done on some of the gums in its pure and modified form as an efficient corrosion inhibitor on different metallic substrates is examined in this paper.

用作缓蚀剂的天然树胶改性：综述

金属腐蚀是一种破坏性、危险的现象，会导致技术经济、环境和人员损失。缓蚀剂的使用是控制金属腐蚀的一种非凡方式；它们由天然或有机/无机化合物制成。凭借这些有机/无机化合物显着影响生态，这限制了对更用户友好的抑制剂的探索。由于它们的生态友好性、可持续性和无毒，天然树胶变得越来越重要。不受控制的水合速率、pH 值和热不稳定性是与口香糖相关的一些问题。可以潜在地利用羟基的可用性和在树胶骨架上引入杂原子的改性的可行性，结合各种表面活性剂或卤化物盐，这可以增加它们的可持续性。本文检查了对一些纯和改性形式的胶作为不同金属基材上的有效腐蚀抑制剂所做的工作的一般调查。
