Noncovalent interactions, which usually feature tunable strength, reversibility, and
environmental adaptability, have been recognized as driving forces in a variety of biological …

Self-healing coatings inspired by biological systems possess the ability to repair physical
damage or recover functional performance with minimal or no intervention. This article …

The presence of micropores/cracks and the poor self-healing performance cause the
organic coating to degrade its protective ability during long-term corrosion. In this work, a bio …

Phase change materials (PCMs) allow the storage of large amounts of latent heat during
phase transition. They have the potential to both increase the efficiency of renewable …

Metal corrosion causes huge economic losses, environmental pollution and industrial
disasters. Application of smart self-healing coatings for the active corrosion protection of …

A composite coating was produced via (i) plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) with Ce salt
sealing, on which layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were deposited via a hydrothermal …

An effective method for bonding carbon nanotubes (CNTs) onto carbon fibers (CFs) surface
via layer-by-layer (LBL) grafting method is reported here. The CNTs have been chemically …

Abstract Development of a new environmentally safe coating for corrosion protection of
metallic surfaces attracted great interest in material science through the past few years …

Giving the coating to exert a powerful active protective effect for metal substrates, such as
self-healing property by encapsulating corrosion inhibitor into a pH-responsive release tool …

Due to their superior water-repelling effects, superhydrophobic surfaces have received
increasing attention as a promising solution to corrosion of metallic materials. The present …
