Smart Coatings

<p>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.</p><p>Features:</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Explores the synthesis and application techniques of novel smart coatings in various research areas</li> <p> </p> <li>Presents a concise critical and state-of-the-art review of existing research on various types of smart coatings</li> <p> </p> <li>Ascertains the different mechanisms associated with the stimuli response of smart coatings</li> <p> </p> <li>Includes an exclusive chapter on real-time applications in the biomedical field</li> <p> </p> <li>Covers self-healing self-cleaning pH balance early corrosion detection and triggering mechanisms</li> </ul><p>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.</p>
