Smart Coatings

This book focusses on fundamentals, technology, synthesis and characterizations, applying techniques from a practical point of view of coatings. It includes application of these coatings to corrosion protection of the materials and review and state of art protection techniques of these coatings to novel applications.

This book focuses on fundamentals, technology, synthesis, and characterizations and applied techniques from a practical point of view of coatings. The first three chapters offer a rigorous review of the application of these coatings to corrosion protection in various aerospace and oil and gas industries, and the subsequent chapters present a quick critical review of the state-of-the-art protection techniques of these coatings to novel biomedical applications such as clinical translations and tissue-engineered materials. Environmental, ergonomics, and aesthetic aspects and future perspectives are also explained at the end.

Features:

Explores the synthesis and application techniques of novel smart coatings in various research areas

Presents a concise, critical, and state-of-the-art review of existing research on various types of smart coatings

Ascertains the different mechanisms associated with the stimuli response of smart coatings

Includes an exclusive chapter on real-time applications in the biomedical field

Covers self-healing, self-cleaning, pH balance, early corrosion detection, and triggering mechanisms

This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students specifically in smart coatings and thin films and corrosion, including chemical, materials science engineering, industrial and manufacturing engineering, and nanotechnology.
