| Abstract | Mitigating corrosion is a grand challenge that costs the United States nearly half a trillion dollars annually. Current corrosion control measures, which mainly rely on chemical coatings, often come with high cost and risks to human and environmental health. Microorganisms play key roles in corrosion, in which they can either accelerate or inhibit corrosion of metal surfaces. In this project, the researchers will develop a biological coating system fabricated with 3D bioprinting that can be appl |
