Abstract

This chapter explores the synthesis and self-healing properties of cerium-doped silane hybrid coatings. These coatings can protect steel structures from corrosion in marine environments. The analysis covers four main areas. First, effects of cerium ions, as a dopant, and bisphenol A (BPA), as a cross-linking agent, on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of hybrid ...
