“…However, the relevant application of some commercial available inorganic pigments is limited due to their disadvantages, such as poor adhesive force and optical transparency, weak abrasion and scratch resistance performance (Zhou et al, 2002; Cayton and Sawitowski, 2005; El-Wahab et al, 2009). Therefore, many attempts have been carried out to prepare high-performance pigments with good anticorrosion properties by designing lamellar-based nano-materials preventing water, oxygen, or ions from penetrating film (Kalendová et al, 2008; Ahmed et al, 2012; Ammar et al, 2016; Zhang et al, 2016). …”
