Corrosion of infrastructure and metals used in the manufacture of goods and supplies is a major cause of deterioration in the construction industry. Nanocontainer-based self-healing coatings attract enormous scientific attention as they offer a wide range of applications in conjunction with long-lasting inhibition performance. These coatings prevent the rate of crack progression by releasing active agents from micro/nanocontainers in a controllable manner and heal crack, thereby mitigating corrosion. The potential of such coatings to heal local damage induced by climatic causes or by mechanical damage is a significant contributing factor to their desirability. This review is a comprehensive analysis of nanocontainers used to manufacture self-healing anticorrosive coatings as well as explains their self-healing mechanism. The technique used to develop nanocontainers such as layer-by-layer assembly of layered double hydroxide has been clarified. An attempt has also been made to cover the latest developments in the manufacture of nanocontainer-mediated self-healing corrosion coatings used in several construction industries.en10.2174/1573413717666210216120741info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessProtective coatingcontrolled releaseself-healing coatingcorrosion protectioninhibitorsnanocontainerReview Article1822162032-s2.0-85127590080Q3WOS:000822634700005Q4
