An Overview of Silane-based Hybrid Sol-gel Coatings for Highly Efficient Metal Corrosion Protection
Journal Title: Journal of Applied Material Science - Year 2025, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The most significant issue facing metal structures is corrosion, which can lead to substantial losses and serious safety issues. Researchers are continuously searching for low-cost, high-performance solutions to address this problem. Traditionally, coatings have been the most popular method to mitigate corrosion. There is an increasing focus on developing environmentally friendly protective coatings, as many conventional coatings can harm the environment once they deteriorate. Many coatings use corrosion inhibitors, which create a synergistic effect that helps prevent corrosion. Unfortunately, many of these inhibitors contain toxic and harmful substances, which add to environmental risks. Therefore, selecting the right coating is essential. Among the various types of coatings, silane-based sol-gel coatings stand out as promising candidates. This paper discusses silane-based sol-gel coatings, the sol-gel method, and the factors that influence the effectiveness of these products. Additionally, it explores the use of plant-extracted inhibitors in sol-gel coatings.
