Self-Warning and Self-Repairing Mechanisms in Functional Coatings: A Review. [PDF]
Exploration (Beijing)In this paper, we summarize the research progress of self‐warning and self‐repairing coatings in the field of metal corrosion protection as much as possible from the perspective of functional material selection. Meanwhile, the current progress of substituting dual‐functional coatings for single‐functional coatings is also highlighted. ABSTRACT Coatings

Engineering Compartmentalized Biomimetic Micro- and Nanocontainers [PDF]
ACS Nano, 2017 Compartmentalization of biological content and function is a key architectural feature in biology, where membrane bound micro- and nanocompartments are used for performing a host of highly specialized and tightly regulated biological functions. The benefit of compartmentalization as a design principle is behind its ubiquity in cells and has led to it ...

Anti-corrosive Polystyrene Coatings Modified with Tannic Acid on Zinc and Steel Substrates
Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering, 2022 Polystyrene (PS) polymer layers were prepared and studied as anti-corrosive barrier layers on both carbon steel and zinc substrates. To increase the corrosion resistance of the coatings, two different approaches were considered: (i) the use of ...

Block Copolymer Nanocontainers
ACS Nano, 2010 Using cell dynamics computer simulation, we perform a systematic study of thin block copolymer films around a nanoparticle. Lamellar-, cylinder-, and sphere-forming block copolymers are investigated with respect to different film thicknesses, particle radii, and boundary conditions at the film interfaces.
