Novel Self-Healing Chemistries for Elevated Tempurature Coating Applications

Self-healing polymers are a new class of smart materials, which have the capability to autonomically repair themselves after damage, without the need for detection or repair by manual intervention. To expand the scope of practical applications, new self-healing chemistries have been developed and evaluated for use in a wide variety of applications including coatings.

Self-healing polymers are a new class of smart materials, which have the capability to autonomically repair themselves after damage, without the need for detection or repair by manual intervention. To expand the scope of practical applications, new self-healing chemistries have been developed and evaluated for use in a wide variety of applications including coatings. In this paper, we discuss the temperature stability of self-healing additives with a view towards the development of additives that exhibit excellent self-healing performance as well as thermal stability in a variety of coating application processes such as drying and curing, as well as in higher temperature service conditions.
