Synthesis of robust polyaniline microcapsules via UV-initiated emulsion polymerization for self-healing and anti-corrosion coating

Corrosion protection of aluminum alloy (AA2219-T6) using sulfonic acid-doped conducting polymer coatings

“…The most accepted model states that conducting polymers promote intelligent selfhealing due to the electrochemical inhibition and cathodic protection. 32,[34][35][36][37][38] Nonetheless, there is still a scarcity of research articles to demonstrate the underlying anticorrosive mechanism.…”

Photoresponsive Self‐Healing Epoxy Composites with Azobenzene Grafted Mesoporous Silica for Controlled Release and Visualization

“…Unfortunately, their research focuses on improving the effectiveness of functional self-healing, and it does not solve the problems of traditional self-healing microcapsules, such as repairing only once and a long repair time. [36,37] Different from previous studies on photoresponsive selfhealing, we herein demonstrate a novel strategy for developing epoxy composites with photoresponsive self-healing properties. The strategy is to combine the photoresponse self-healing container with the photopolymerization repair agent; as such, the process from release to self-healing of the repair agent is continuous and controllable.…”

Fabrication of dual anti-corrosive polyaniline microcapsules via Pickering emulsion for active corrosion protection of steel

“…To tackle this problem, our group designed and fabricated two-shell structured polyaniline microcapsules via photo-polymerization of Pickering emulsions and interfacial aniline polymerization very recently. 32,33 A cross-linked polyacrylic shell was first fabricated via photo-polymerization of the emulsion. Aniline was then added and polymerized at the oil-water interface, which converted to a second shell.…”
