Study on the interface of PVDF coatings and HF-treated AZ31 magnesium alloy: Determination of interfacial interactions and reactions with self-healing properties

Self‐healing polymeric materials towards non‐structural recovery of functional properties

“…Other coating formulations consisting of polymeric materials (like epoxy resin, superabsorbent polymer, poly(vinyl ester) and fluoropolymer) and corrosion inhibitors also exhibit interesting self‐healing anti‐corrosion behavior …”

Self-healing coatings in anti-corrosion applications

“…composites which contain them belong to the materials most often used to produce self-repair coatings [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The ease of modification stems from the various properties of macromolecular compounds, such as oxidizing properties, swelling and cross-linking ability, and from the fact that no high temperatures are required to form them.…”

“…The proposed self-healing mechanism is based on interfacial reactions between magnesium hydroxide (a corrosion product) and the polymer. The corrosion product is converted into magnesium fluoride which acts as a protective layer [7].…”

Synthesis and corrosion behavior of a hybrid bioceramic-biopolymer coating on biodegradable Mg alloy for orthopaedic implants

“…Numerous investigations into controlling the rapid corrosion rate of Mg alloys have been carried out including surface modification [3,4]. Polymeric coating on magnesium surfaces is a well-known and interesting approach to enhance corrosion resistance of the alloy because the polymer layer can act as a barrier, preventing the reaction between the metal and corrosive ions [5]. PCL (e[(CH 2 ) 5 COO]e) is a promising polymer due to its high toughness and biocompatibility as well as remarkable mechanical properties, such as 80% elongation at break point [6,7].…”
