a b s t r a c t The development of new technology that prevents corrosion of aluminium alloys (AA) 2024-T3 was made. AA 2024-T3 panels were coated with two layers the first one consists of conductive polymers (CP) and the second one, on the top, is made of sol–gel coatings. Ceramic nanocontainers loaded with cor-rosion inhibitors were incorporated into the CP coatings. Studies on the corrosion resistance of these coatings demonstrated that the presence of loaded nanocontainers into the CP coatings improved the cor-rosion protective properties of the films by increasing the total impedance values, and decreasing both anodic and cathodic currents relatively to coatings without nanocontainers.
