Multiple action self-healing properties of a polymer coating doped with a cerium based corrosion inhibitor are in the focus of a new study. Thibault Muselle, research group SURF (Surface and Electrochemical Engineering), Vrije Universiteit Brussel, reports that measurements showed a good closure of scratches after a heat treatment. It was proven that this closure was accompanied by a good recovery of the barrier properties.
