Multiple-action self-healing coatings based on reversible polymer network systems Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Research on self-healing materials has greatly expanded over the last several years, as a result of the increased interest in the development of alternative, sustainable and durable systems. The concept of self-healing coatings on the basis of reversible polymer network systems is to actively heal a local damage by application of an external stimulus, breaking the reversible covalent bonds. Active corrosion inhibitors can be added to render the ...
