Abstract
Water-based epoxy coating containing CeO2 nanocontainers was successfully applied on carbon steel for corrosion protection. CeO2 nanocontainers were loaded with the corrosion inhibitor benzotriazole (BTA). Polyelectrolyte multilayers were deposited on the loaded nanocontainers by layer-by-layer assembly method. Responsive release of BTA molecules were studied in water media at different pH values using UV
