Smart protective coatings with self?sensing and active corrosion protection dual functionality from pH-sensitive calcium carbonate microcontainers

Corrosion Sensing Smart Polymeric Coatings

Smart materials cover a wide and developing range in engineering & medical application. This paper presents the “Stimuli-sensitive/smart” polymeric systems which can overcome dramatic property changes responding to small changes in its surrounding environment. Here there is a corrosion resistant or protective smart polymeric coating and paints have been described. Additional smart-coating princ...

Corrosion Protection Performance of Nanoclay-Polyester Nanocomposite Coatings

In this paper, polymer-based nanocomposites powder were applied on the surface of plain carbon steel by electrostatic device and then were cured by microwave. The effect of adding nanoparticles on the corrosion resistance properties of the coatings was investigated by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy and immersion test in 3.5 NaCl solution. Coatings structure and morphology of nanoparticl...

Concepts for Smart Protective High-Temperature Coatings

The need for environmental resistance is a critical material barrier to the operation of fossil systems with the improved energy efficiencies and emissions performance described by the goals of the Vision 21 concept of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy. All fossil fuel-derived processes contain reactive species and high-temperature degradation arising from reactions of sol...

Hydrophobic and superhydrophobic coatings for corrosion protection of steel

Since metals in general, and steels in particular, are vital construction materials in our modern society, the corrosion protection of said materials is of great importance, both to ensure safety and to reduce costs associated to corrosion. Previously, chromium (VI) and other harmful substances were effectively used to provide corrosion protection to steel, but since their use was heavily regul...
