A review on nanostructured organic-inorganic hybrid coatings

A thorough understanding of the corrosion thermodynamics and kinetics is first presented. Furthermore, the protective mechanisms of barrier, sacrificial, and inhibitive coatings are outlined. Sol –gel coatings and SNAP coatings are the focus of investigation in this review. In this article, recent developments in the processing stages and functional properties of the finally produced sol-gel-based hybrid coatings will be overviewed. Finally, some of the new and novel advancements in this area developed by different research groups will be discussed.
