A coating is created by incorporating a nanofibrous network, containing an optical sensor and a corrosion inhibitor, in a hydrophobic coating. The nanocomposite displays dual functions of corrosion detection and corrosion inhibition. More details can be found in article number 2001073 by Daniel Crespy and co‐workers.

A nanonetwork composite coating is prepared for serving as both pH sensor and reservoir for the delivery of functional payload. The composite coating consists in nanofibers containing encapsulated pH‐responsive dye and corrosion inhibitor. The nanofibers are then incorporated in a hydrophobic polymer. While the nanofibers remained intact, they prov...

Strategies for corrosion protection are required to prolong the life-span of metallic structures used by the construction, aerospace, and transport industries. Currently, there are no coatings that can provide at the same time information about the corrosion status of the coated metal and protect the metal against corrosive species and mechanical d...

Hypothesis Emulsions are metastable and can be destabilized by coalescence and Ostwald ripening, which lead to phase separation. Immobilizing emulsion droplets in a solid material shall improve their stability during storage. Experiments Miniemulsions and dispersions of nanocapsules are electrospun to immobilize colloids in polymer nanofibers. The...

Controlled release of payloads such as drugs or corrosion inhibitors from nanocapsules is a prerequisite for their utilization. Indeed, premature leaching and contamination of the environment can be avoided. Herein, we investigate the pH-dependence of release kinetics of corrosion inhibitors from nanocapsules. Nanocapsules are formed by interfacial...

A method is presented for preserving the structural integrity of nanodroplets produced by emulsification. Droplets of different hydrophobic liquids such as essential oils or monomers are produced by the miniemulsion process. The miniemulsions are then electrospun to yield dextran nanofibers entrapping the hydrophobic nanodroplets. The nanodroplets...
