Correlating the performance of a fire-retardant coating across different scales of testing by Ng, Yan Hao, Zope, Indraneel Suhas, Dasari, Aravind, Tan, Kang Hai

“…One of the main outcomes of this work dictates that higher heat release rate values and larger amounts of material participating in the pyrolysis process per unit time will result in a rapid rise in steel substrate temperature. This information is very useful in the design and development of generic fire-retardant coatings.…”

Synthesis of robust and multifunctional microcapsules for protective coatings used in marine and offshore environments by Sun, Dawei

“…During service, anticorrosion coatings in seawater are susceptible to wear and scratched damages resulting in the re-exposure of steel substrates. Smart coatings are prepared by formulating microcapsules in polymeric coatings, where healing agents can be released to seal scratches or as lubricant to mitigate wear damages after the microcapsules are broken. …”
