https://doi.org/10.62638/ZasMat1294Abstract
This review examines the developing fields of self-healing coatings and smart materials, emphasizing how they have the potential to transform a number of sectors by improving efficiency, sustainability, and durability. A growing number of self-healing coatings incorporate smart materials, which react to environmental stimuli like temperature, pressure, and electric fields, allowing damage to be repaired without the need for outside assistance. Even with some improvements in self-healing processes, there is still a great deal to learn about the long-term functionality and real-world uses of these materials, especially when paired with cutting-edge technology like nanomaterials. The most recent studies on self-healing coatings are summarized in this study, which also offers insights into the mechanisms underlying these advancements, such as vascular systems, reversible chemical bonding, and microencapsulation. It also emphasizes the various ways that smart materials are being used in sectors including construction, automotive, healthcare, and aerospace, showcasing their potential to save maintenance costs and enhance sustainability in general. This study discusses current issues and suggests future lines of inquiry that may propel the development and commercialization of these technologies for practical uses.
