Abstract

This work identifies the effect of loading benzotriazole (BTA) on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) as an initial step in preparing a self-healing corrosion-protective coating with environmentally friendly precursors, rice husk, which advantages cheaper, renewable, and contains relatively high silica. This research uses the sol-gel method to synthesize MSN. Based on the result, it is known that the loading of BTA strongly affects the porosity properties of these nanoparticles. The pore sizes increase as the surface areas and pore volumes decrease. However, the silicone composition shrinks. Based on pore size, it is known that all the samples in this work were mesoporous materials (over 2 nm) with spherical and globular morphologies (like coral reefs).
