“…For this reason, it is necessary to improve these coatings by adding different organic and inorganic particles. For example, it was reported that new composite coatings were obtained by co-deposition using metal matrix and different particles such as SiO 2 , TiO 2 , ZrO 2 nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE), polyaniline (PAN), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) exhibited improved corrosion properties when compared with conventional zinc [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. In these composite coatings, mixed layers of corrosion products from the metal and particles in the composite coating often appear and demonstrate a synergistic interaction which contributes to the improvements in properties of hybrid layers.…”
