A corrosion inhibiting pigment includes nanoscale reservoirs (nanoreservoirs) of corrosion inhibitor for active corrosion protection of metallic products and structures, wherein the nanoreservoirs include a polymer or polyelectrolyte shell which is sensitive to a specific trigger and capable of releasing the inhibitor after action of the trigger. An anti-corrosive coating with self-healing properties includes the pigment, methods for preparing the pigment, in particular by layer-by-layer deposition, as well as methods of use of the pigment.

Corrosion inhibiting pigment comprising nanoreservoirs of corrosion inhibitor

The invention relates to capsules coated with a polyelectrolyte shell and methods for the production thereof.

Production of nanocapsules and microcapsules by layer-wise polyelectrolyte self-assembly

The invention concerns a method for producing nanocapsules and microcapsules comprising a polyelectrolyte shell by surface precipitation from the solution, by applying a shell to template particles comprising the steps (a) providing a dispersion of template particles of suitable size in a salt-containing liquid phase which contains the components required to form the shell in a dissolved form and (b) precipitating the components from the liquid phase onto the template particles under conditions which enable the formation of a shell around the template particles that has a thickness of from 1 to 100 nm.

Production of polyelectrolyte capsules by surface precipitation

Process for encapsulation of an uncharged crystalline solid particle include treating the crystalline solid particle material with amphiphilic substances and subsequently coating the material with a layer of charged polyelectrolyte or coating the material with a multilayer comprising alternating layers of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes.
