The role of self-healing coatings on soft polymer fibers
Mussel byssal threads exhibit unique self-healing mechanical properties. This study designed a synthetic system modeled after the byssal thread structure in order to isolate the origins of their unique self-healing mechanical properties. PDMS fibers were coated with metal-coordination bonds …

Interference lithography for optical devices and coatings
… photonic crystals for functional devices or coatings. For instance, typical lithographic processing techniques were used to create 1, 2 and 3 dimensional photonic crystals in SU8 photoresist. These structures were in-filled with birefringent liquid crystal to make active devices, and the …

Microcapsule-based self-protecting coatings
… and other alloying elements. More recently, self-protective coatings have been introduced using microencapsulated anti-corrosion chemicals and compounds that are released on demand at the site of active corrosion. Once triggered via capsule release, the passive coating later is activated …

Photochemical Crosslinking Reactions in Polymers
… has been applied to environmental cleanup, wound healing materials, consumer products, artificial organs, self-healing coatings, and the micro-patterning of surfaces. Photocrosslinking using additives is one of the safest and most robust methods as it allows precise control of the reaction in …

Polymeric capsules for self-healing anticorrosion coatings
… devoted to establishing of a new generation of self-healing anti-corrosion coatings for protection of metals. The concept of self-healing anticorrosion coatings is based on the combination of the passive part, represented by the matrix of conventional coating, and the active part, represented by …

Functional electrospun fibers for responsive coatings and sacrificial templates
… in composites, and barrier effectiveness of coatings. Self-healing materials have the ability to repair or prevent further damage autonomously, where and when it occurs. Autonomous repair can increase the lifetime of materials, thereby reducing the economic and environmental impact of …
