Jojoba oil has been studied as a potential green inhibitor for corrosion in various industries, including the protection of carbon steel against acidic-induced corrosion. The inhibitory properties of jojoba oil can be attributed to its chemical composition, which includes long chain fatty acids and esters. To assess the inhibition efficiency of jojoba oil, experimental methods such as weight loss measurements, electrochemical techniques (e.g., polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy), and surface analysis techniques were employed. These methods can provide insights into the corrosion rate reduction and the protective film formation on the carbon steel surface. It is important to note that the effectiveness of jojoba oil as a corrosion inhibitor may vary depending on factors such as the concentration of the acidic solution, temperature, exposure time, and the presence of other corrosive species. Therefore, comprehensive studies and further research are necessary to evaluate the inhibitory performance of jojoba oil under specific conditions. In this era of rapid technological advancement, sustainable development is an urgent concern. As a result, using renewable resources is crucial to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Most researchers, both in academia and business, have focused on the polyols obtained from renewable resources, such as cellulose, lignin, chitosan, vegetable oils, and so on, as well as the polymers created from them. To create a system with additional value, bio-based polymers derived from vegetable oils are beginning to emerge with various features. This study will provide an overview of the various vegetable oil-based self healing polymers and their applications, as well as how coatings made from vegetable oils can improve their corrosion-resistant qualities using fillers or systemic molecular structure modifications.
