Chem."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Corrosion is a major problem that can lead to the degradation of metal structures. In this study, we developed a novel corrosion-protective coating for metal substrates based on a modified epoxy acrylate formulation reinforced with halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). Epoxy acrylate oligomers were first synthesized through the acrylation of epoxy using acrylic acid, followed by copolymerization with butyl methacrylate\/vinyl acetate monomers to produce grafted epoxy acrylates (GEA). HNTs were then incorporated into the polymeric dispersion at weight loadings of 1%, 1.5%, and 2%. The corrosion resistance and waterproofing properties of the coatings were evaluated. The results showed that steel samples coated with HNTs-modified GEA showed no signs of rusting even after 16\u00a0days of immersion in a corrosive solution, whereas those coated with GEA alone showed rusting after only 9\u00a0days. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of HNTs-modified GEA coatings in protecting steel surfaces against corrosion. The coatings are also water-resistant and can be easily applied. This work provides a new approach to developing corrosion-protective coatings for metal substrates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fchem.2024.1325354","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,7]],"date-time":"2024-03-07T04:23:28Z","timestamp":1709785408000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Halloysite nanotubes-enhanced epoxy acrylate latex emulsion as a novel anticorrosive protective coating for metal surface in 3.5% NaCl solution"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Asif","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matloob","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammad Jawwad","family":"Saif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammad Naveed","family":"Anjum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Magdi E.
