The costs of metal corrosion amount to several percent of the GDP of an industrialized country.[1] In the case of aluminum, chromate-based coatings [2] provide highly effective corrosion protection, but environmental regulations are increasingly restricting their use. Anodization [3] increases the thickness of the oxide layer, but it retains its porous nature.[4] Layered materials such as anionic clays (eg, layered double hydroxides)[5, 6] and cationic clays (eg, montmorillonite)[7] have been widely investigated as additives in organic anticorrosion coatings or as polymer–clay nanocomposite corrosion-resistant coatings. Zeolites [8, 9] have also been explored as corrosion-resistant coating materials. Hydrophobic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs)[10] of surfactant molecules on the surface have recently been proposed as corrosion inhibitors but suffer from the drawbacks that the layers have limited stability and molecule-sized defects which allow water to reach the underlying surface. These problems should be mitigated if the surfactant could be incorporated in an inorganic host matrix, a thin film of which has been previously strongly bonded to the aluminum surface.Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are one such potential inorganic host. They can be expressed by the general formula [M2+ 1ÀxM3+ x (OH) 2] AnÀ x/n· mH2O, where the cations M2+ and M3+ occupy the octahedral holes in a brucite-like layer and the anion AnÀ is located in the hydrated interlayer galleries.[11] The ability to vary the composition over a wide range allows materials with a wide variety of properties to be prepared. We recently showed [12] that an NiAl-LDH–CO3 2À film can be formed directly on porous anodic alumina/aluminum (PAO/Al) substrates; since PAO/Al is the only source of Al3+, the thin film grows directly on the substrate and thus exhibits good adhesion and mechanical stability.[13] Treatment with sodium laurate (n-dodecanoate) results in surface-bonded laurate films showing superhydrophobicity with water contact angles (CA) greater than 1608. Here we show that intercalation of laurate anions by ion exchange with
