| Comments | My research is the development of self-healing corrosion protective coatings. The purpose of coating is to prevent corrosion of metal, however, when scratches occur, the metal is exposed to the environment and corrosion occurs. If the healing agent elutes from the coating and it reaches the defect part, healing films are formed, and the progress of corrosion automatically stops. This is self-healing coatings. Currently, we are developing coatings using cellulose nanofibers that can form network structures that mimic blood vessels in living organisms. |
