Offshore metallic structures have an average life-time of 20-25 years. They consist of four different zones, the buried, the submerged, the tidal/splash and the atmospheric one. According to NACE 2013 the global corrosion cost is estimated to be US$2.5 trillion, consisting a major economic problem. Hence, protection from corrosion is essential. Each zone is protected either with cathodic methods, or with a combination of cathodic methods and coatings. More specifically, the protection of the atmospheric zone, which is the aim of this research, due to the lack of continuous electrolyte (seawater) does not allow the application of cathodic protection.

Offshore wind turbines are subjected to a harsh marine environment, which can cause detrimental problems to them due to corrosion, if not protected properly. Offshore wind energy is considered to play an important role in the net zero emissions by 2050, as set in Paris Agreement [1], contributing to environmental protection and sustainability. Thus, the long-term corrosion protection and life expansion of these offshore structures is of high importance. In this work, the formation of microcapsules, loaded with corrosion inhibitor liquid is presented. More specifically the microcapsules consist of polystyrene shell-an inert material- and 3-octanoylthio-1-propyltriethoxysilane core with a mean diameter of around 80µm. Silanes are used as corrosion inhibitors due to their chemistry, which offers protection to the underlying substrate [2, 3]. The incorporation of the microcapsules in a commercially available paint and their anticorrosion performance was tested in salt spray chamber and in real marine environment. Hence, this work highlights the performance of the microcapsules, which can offer corrosion solution to offshore wind turbines when used as part of a coating system. EDX analysis of the exposed samples lead to conclusions regarding these systems, contributing to the existing literature.
