Corrosion prevention of metallic items by the application of coatings has been one of the most successful tactics used throughout history. Recently, functional self-healing coatings have become a well-established idea and a very promising technology, with certain solutions demonstrating considerable scale-up potential. Self-healing coatings, which can repair themselves after a damaging event, are a well-proven idea that may be achieved by modifying the coating chemistry or by introducing encapsulated species that polymerize at the damaged locations. This concept’s potential has been expanded to the storage of corrosion inhibitors in smart carriers such as capsules, nanoparticles, nanotubes, and ion exchange clays that are responsive to stimuli intimately related to the corrosion process.
Novel strategies of self-healing corrosion protection systems are being developed, which take into account industrial demand and requirements and knowledge obtained through investigating the fundamentals of the corrosion-inhibition process. The latest developments in the area of environmentally friendly smart anti-corrosion coatings for aluminium alloys are now used in aerospace applications as well.
At this juncture, there is a wide variety of corrosion service companies entering the industry with a set of advanced and integrated offerings.
