Abstract
A corrosion inhibiting structure includes a mineral tubule having a first end, a second end, and a lumen extending from the first end to the second end. The lumen terminates in a first opening at the first end and a second opening at the second end. The corrosion inhibiting structure also includes an anticorrosion deposit disposed within the lumen, and first and second precipitate stoppers covering the first and second openings, respectively. A coating composition includes a population of corrosion inhibiting structures and a coating material. A method of inhibiting corrosion includes loading anticorrosion agent deposits into lumens, forming stoppers at first and second openings by mixing loaded mineral tubules with a solution containing a predetermined concentration of transition metal ions, mixing the loaded mineral tubules having stoppers with a coating material to form a composite material, and applying the composite material to a metal surface.
