Monodisperse Polymeric Core–Shell Nanocontainers for Organic Self‐Healing Anticorrosion Coatings

The highly efficient “one-pot” synthesis of corrosion inhibitor-loaded polymeric core–shell nanocontainers is reported for self-healing organic anticorrosion coatings. In addition to well-defined morphology, narrow size distribution, stimuli-responsive release, low-cost, and scalable fabrication, the polymeric nanocontainers also show high dispersibility in aqueous solution for water-borne processing and excellent compatibility with the organic coating matrix for self-healing anticorrosion protection without any external energy input.
