The application of these methods allowed indicating the most promising VCI and understanding its mechanism of action. Thus, after the vaporization of VCI molecules, they condense on the surface and form a protective film or a film with oxidizing characteristic, thereby preventing the corrosive action of the chemical species present in the environment.</p></div>
