"Smart Coatings: Fundamentals, Developments, and Applications focuses on fundamentals, technology, synthesis, and characterizations, applying techniques from a practical point of view of coatings. The first three chapters offers a rigorous review about the application of these coatings to corrosion protection of the material in various aerospace, oil and gas industries while following chapters presents the quick critical review and state of art protection techniques of these coatings to novel biomedical applications such as clinical translations and tissue engineered materials. Environmental, ergonomics, aesthetic aspects and future perspectives are also explained. Features: Explore the synthesis and application techniques of novel smart coatings to the varied research areas. Presents concise, critical, and state of art review of existing research on various types of smart coatings. Ascertains the different mechanisms associated with the stimuli response of smart coatings. Includes exclusive chapter on real time applications in the biomedical field. Covers self-healing, self-cleaning, pH balance, early corrosion detection and triggering mechanisms. This book aims at Researchers, Graduate students specifically in smart coatings and thin films, and corrosion including Chemical, Materials Science Engineering, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, Nanotechnology
