Smart coatings, Polymer nano-composite, Carbon nano-particles, Deicing, Self-heatingAbstract
Smart coatings that are rooted on polymer matrices are usually doped with carbon nanoparticles such as graphene or carbon nano-tubes and are being widely researched. Information was gathered from over 74 articles that focused on the smart coatings of polymer doped with carbon nano-particles databases such as ResearchGate, Academia, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and IEEE Xplore. Articles were filtered by keywords including ‘smart coatings’, ‘polymer nano-composite’, ‘carbon nano-particles’, ‘deicing’, and ‘self-heating’ to identify scientific articles relevant to this present research on smart coatings and carbon nano-particles. From the meta-study, it was revealed that in organic coatings, carbon nano-fillers frequently increase performance by improving corrosion resistance, barrier properties, hardness, and wear strength. Additionally, the identified composites represent a new class of protective organic coatings capable of autonomously responding to environmental stimuli or damage. Through the investigation, it was understood that polymer coatings are new functionalities that are added by carbon nano-particles and, as a result of the formation of a percolation network, the majority of which are connected to the nanocomposites, increased electrical conductivity. Based on the fluctuation of their electrical resistance, these coatings can be employed as strain sensors and gauges (Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)). Additionally, they perform the task of self-heaters by applying electrical power connected with resistive heating via the Joule effect. This brings up new opportunities, notably for deicing and defogging coatings. The lotus effect is used to develop micro- and nano-scaled hierarchical surfaces for superhydrophobic and self-cleaning coatings. Surface damage can be repaired by coatings having a self-healing polymer matrix.
