The development of smart coatings with potential for active anticorrosion and self-healing
protection of metals is essential for long-term performance of metallic structures in …

Coating technologies are a commonly used way to protect metals against corrosion.
However, with more and more severe service environments of materials, many protective …

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) have attracted increasing interest for their
applicability as smart nanocarriers of corrosion inhibitors, due to their porous structure …

Numerous approaches are in practice to mitigate corrosion. Among all of these approaches,
protective coating plays an effective/promising role in corrosion protection. The coating …

Environmentally friendly waterborne coatings have received significant attention recently
due to their lower volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emission than solvent-based …

During the last few decades, electrochemistry and electrode modification have seen a
tremendous fall off in creativity with the emergence of the nanoarchitectonic-based layer-by …

The introduction of stimuli-responsive micron-nano containers endows traditional coatings
with intelligent self-healing functions. Recently, the research on stimuli-responsive micron …

The durability and functionality of many metallic structures are seriously threatened by
corrosion, which makes the development of anticorrosive coatings imperative. This state-of …

Polyelectrolyte-encapsulated nanocontainers can effectively respond to changes of pH and
thus control the on-demand release of corrosion inhibitors. A pH-responsive release system …

Emergence of discarded (and/or excreted) pharmaceutical drugs (PDs) in aquatic bodies
has led to the scarcity of pure drinking water. Conventional treatment for water recycling is …
