“…Nano-additives can be used in many different ways; as layered nanomaterials (graphene, clays or layered hydroxides), metal oxides (silica, ceria or titania), or as nanocontainers containing active corrosion inhibitors which are released in response to a stimuli. Previous work has shown that the use of nano-additives can aid corrosion protection as well as lead to more durable coatings [13,14], with improved mechanical and barrier properties [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], scratch resistance and a lower tendency for blistering and delamination [20,25,26].…”
