Facile fabrication of core-shell Pr6O11-ZnO modified silane coatings for anti-corrosion applications

- The SiO2@Pr6O11-ZnO shows dual properties of hydrophobic and anti-corrosion coatings.
- Dual application is achieved by embedding the nanocomposites in silane network.
- This synergistic effect rendering the coating surface for multifunctional applications.
- To the best of our knowledge this hybrid materials has not been reported earlier.
