Abstract
Halloysite clay nanotubes were investigated as a tubular container for the corrosion inhibitor benzotriazole. Halloysite is a naturally occurring cylindrical clay mineral with an internal diameter in the nanometer range and a length up to several micrometers, yielding a high-aspect-ratio hollow tube structure. Halloysite may be used as an additive in paints to produce a functional composite coating material. A maximum benzotriazole loading of 5% by weight was achieved for clay tubes of 50 nm external diameters and lumen of 15 nm. Variable release rates of the corrosion inhibitor were possible in a range between 5 and 100 h, as was demonstrated by formation of stoppers at tube openings. The anticorrosive performance of the sol-gel coating and paint loaded with 2-5% of halloysite-entrapped benzotriazole was tested on copper and on 2024-aluminum alloy by direct exposure of the metal plates to corrosive media. Kinetics of the corrosion spot formation at the coating defects was analyzed by the scanning vibrating electrode technique, and an essential damping of corrosion development was demonstrated for halloysite-loaded samples.
