Smart Coating of Carbon Steel Using Polystyrene Clay Nanocomposites Loaded with Cerium and Silanol Inhibitors: Characterization and Electrochemical Study

Local Khulays clay was modified to prepare polystyrene clay nanocomposite (PCN) coatings on carbon steel. The PCN coatings were added to microcapsules (MCs) loaded with the corrosion inhibitor PCN(MC). The microcapsules were prepared by the encapsulation of rare-earth metal Ce
