Among all of these approaches, protective coating plays an effective/promising role in corrosion protection. The coating efficiency is generally not sufficient for applications in aggressive and extreme environments. Addition/embedment of corrosion inhibitors in combination with protective coatings enhances the metal protection. Ineffective methods of direct blending of corrosion inhibitors with paint leads to a technology that uses a carrier (container or capsule) to encapsulate the inhibitor. Halloysite nanotubes have many advantages and are successfully identified/reported as a leading nanocontainer. This study reviews the recent development of halloysite nanotubes as a nanocontainer for smart coating applications. {\^A}{\copyright} 2017 Elsevier B.V.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85020250508&doi=10.1016\%2fj.porgcoat.2017.05.018&partnerID=40&md5=94baf3c95334de09607d5d60e085a61a}, keywords = {Blending; Coatings; Corrosion; Kaolinite; Nanotubes; Protective coatings; Yarn, Coating efficiency; Extreme environment; Halloysite nanotubes; Metal protections; Nanocontainers; Self-healing coating; Smart coatings, Corrosion inhibitors}, author = {Zahidah, K.
