A smart coating is defined as one that changes its properties in response to an environmental stimulus‎.‎ The Handbook of Smart Coatings for Materials Protection reviews the new generation of smart coatings for corrosion and other types of material protection‎.‎ Part one explores the fundamentals of smart coatings for materials protection including types‎,‎ materials‎,‎ design‎,‎ and processing‎.‎ Chapters review corrosion processes and strategies for prevention‎;‎ smart coatings for corrosion protection‎;‎ techniques for synthesizing and applying smart coatings‎;‎ multi‎-functional‎,‎ self‎-healing coatings‎;‎ and current and future trends of protective coatings for automotive‎,‎ aerospace‎,‎ and military applications‎.‎ Chapters in part two focus on smart coatings with self‎-healing properties for corrosion protection‎,‎ including self‎-healing anticorrosion coatings for structural and petrochemical engineering applications‎;‎ smart self‎-healing coatings for corrosion protection of aluminum alloys‎,‎ magnesium alloys and steel‎;‎ smart nanocoatings for corrosion detection and control‎;‎ and recent advances in polyaniline‎-based organic coatings for corrosion protection‎.‎ Chapters in part three move on to highlight other types of smart coatings‎,‎ including smart self‎-cleaning coatings for corrosion protection‎;‎ smart polymer nanocomposite water‎- and oil‎-repellent coatings for aluminum‎;‎ UV‎-curable organic polymer coatings for corrosion protection of steel‎;‎ smart epoxy coatings for early detection of corrosion in steel and aluminum‎;‎ and structural ceramics with self‎-healing properties‎.‎ The Handbook of Smart Coatings for Materials Protection is a valuable reference for those concerned with preventing corrosion‎,‎ particularly of metals‎,‎ professionals working within the surface coating industries‎,‎ as well as all those with an academic research interest in the field‎.‎
