The development of smart coatings with potential for active anticorrosion and self-healing
protection of metals is essential for long-term performance of metallic structures in …

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 …

Coating technologies are a commonly used way to protect metals against corrosion.
However, with more and more severe service environments of materials, many protective …

The search for new alternatives to replace chromate-based coatings is a matter of great
importance. Since their official ban due to the raised concerns of hexavalent chromium to the …

Ce 3+ ions containing zeolite microparticles were in-situ incorporated into plasma
electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coating to provide self-healing property for AM50 Mg alloy. It was …

Aluminum alloys are known to have many advantages (eg, light weight and low cost) but
they are not immune to corrosion. So, it is important to assess their corrosion behavior, in …

Extrinsic self-healing corrosion protective coatings have attracted substantial interest
because of their ability to prevent damage propagation by releasing corrosion inhibitors and …

A doublely-doped layered double hydroxide (LDH) film was produced on an anodized
magnesium alloy AZ31. The Ce-doped Mg-Al LDH film was prepared by in-situ hydrothermal …

The inhibitive effects provided by benzotriazole (BTA) and cerium chloride (CeCl 3) on 2024-
T3 aluminium alloy were assessed, individually and combined, in 0.05 M NaCl electrolytes …

In this work we report the synthesis of polyurea microcapsules loaded with corrosion
inhibitor 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) for corrosion protection of 2024 aluminum alloy …
