Self-healing adhesion on polymer coatings

Supramolecular self assembling hydrogen bonded polymeric materials are of great importance due to its practical relevance. Well designed molecules based on these concepts can produce polymeric materials with “responsive” properties like self healing even in coating application. The reversible, non-covalent hydrogen bonding interactions are a...

Modelling of self-healing surface structures coatings

For many current engineering applications the performance of materials depends strongly on the surface properties of the top layer. In many cases a hydrophobic/superphydrophobic top surface is desired (for example for easy-toclean/ self-cleaning applications). The durability of coatings will be substantially extended if the layer which provides...
