The issue of metal corrosion is widely recognized as a paramount challenge confronting the construction industry, primarily attributable to the substantial peril it poses to facility safety and the exorbitant expenses incurred in maintaining structures employing metallic components. To address this predicament, experts have explored various strategies aimed at mitigation and control this phenomenon, with a central focus on the implementation of anti-corrosion coatings. Notably, the incorporation of diverse nanomaterials within polymer-based coatings has emerged as a pivotal advancement in the enhancement of such coatings. In this study, a comparative analysis was undertaken to evaluate multiple investigations employing metal oxide nanoparticles for the augmentation of anti-corrosion coatings. The objective was to ascertain the optimal nanoparticle addition based on protection effectiveness against corrosion that can provide. The findings of this investigation revealed that, in terms of the average protection effectiveness in safeguarding against corrosion, zinc oxide nanoparticles exhibited the highest performance, followed by aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, titanium oxide, and lastly, iron oxide.
