 Abstract

As the field of self-healing materials continues to grow, novel self-healing concepts and chemistries are being developed for a variety of applications including coatings. Self-healing functionality is typically considered for incorporation in coatings to solve two basic challenges including restoration of aesthetic properties and restoration of protective function. In this talk I will compare these challenges and discuss the capability of existing technologies to meet them. I will then discuss examples of the development and application of self-healing chemistries to protective coatings and the level of success achieved in autonomic repair of coatings that have been damaged via a variety of mechanisms. These examples will include a range of laboratory and commercial formulations evaluated with a target of real world deployment in the near future.
