МІНЕРАЛЬНІ ЗАХИСНІ ПОКРИТТЯ З РОЗЧИНІВ КРЕМНІЙОРГАНІЧНИХ СПОЛУК: СУЧАСНИЙ СТАН ПРОБЛЕМИ

The subject of this review is  inorganic sol-gel silane coatings formed on metal surfaces for corrosion protection. These coatings are characterized by increased resistance to environmental factors, including UV radiation, and offer greater long-term environmental friendliness compared to organic matrices. The review analyzes the factors influencing the synthesis of such coatings (pH, solvent, temperature, concentration, surface treatment, etc.), their operational drawbacks, and limitations in existing studies. Special attention is given to the possibilities of improvement through the incorporation of various types of hydrophobic nanoparticles to achieve the Cassie superhydrophobic state, as well as corrosion inhibitors. The main outcome is the substantiation of the potential for using such coatings as an effective barrier layer with self-cleaning and bio-protective properties, while having minimal environmental impact.
