“…In addition, silane films are thin-layer, easily damaged, and have no self-healing properties, making it difficult to provide long time protection. To overcome the disadvantages, various methods such as adding various nanomaterials [7], corrosion inhibitors [8] , pretreatment of metal surfaces [9] were proposed. Among them, activating the metal surface by pretreatment method to give more hydroxyl groups on the surface will facilitate the adsorption of silane on the surface, thus improve the film adhesion and compactness.…”
