This book covers a broad range of materials science that has been
brought to bear on providing solutions to the challenges of
developing self-healing and protective coatings for a range of
metals. The book has a strong emphasis on characterisation
techniques, particularly new techniques that are beginning to be
used in the coatings area. It features many contributions written
by experts from various industrial sectors which examine the
needs of the sectors and the state of the art.

The development of self-healing and protective coatings has been
an expanding field in recent years and applies a lot of new
knowledge gained from other fields as well as other areas of
materials science to the development of coatings. It has borrowed
from fields such as the food and pharmaceutical industries who
have used, polymer techniques, sol-gel science and colloidosome
technology for a range encapsulation techniques. It has also
borrowed from fields like hydrogen storage such as from the
development of hierarchical and other materials based on organic
templating as “nanocontainers” for the delivery of inhibitors. In
materials science, recent developments in high throughput and
other characterisation techniques, such as those available from
synchrotrons, are being increasing used for novel
characterisation – one only needs to look at the application of
these techniques in self healing polymers to gauge wealth of new
information that has been gained from these techniques.

This work is largely driven by the need to replace environmental
pollutants and hazardous chemicals that represent risk to humans
such as chromate inhibitors which are still used in some
applications.
