Smart and Self-Healing Coatings: A New Era of Paints and Coating Industry

paints and coatings industry has witnessed significant growth in the recent years owing to factors such as advancements in technology, high demand for efficient paints, and progress in civil engineering. Extensive research activities are being conducted to enhance the attributes of paints and coatings to make them technologically smart. For instance, the introduction of green buildings and nanocoatings have made the world a healthier and safer place to live. High shelf life as well as eco-friendly paints are now the trending products used in the paints and coatings industry. The market has now developed a keen interest in paints and coatings for use in self-driving smart vehicles.

The introduction of self-driving cars has demanded a new type of paint and coating. PPG Industries, America’s fortune 500 company and global supplier of paints and coatings, recently decided to form a mobility team to develop coatings that can help autonomous vehicles, which need better visibility to light detection and ranging (LiDAR) scanners, and should be easy to clean. LiDAR scanners take more time if the obstacle has a darker hue. PPG developed a new dark paint, which can be quickly detected by LiDAR. For electric cars, PPG designed an advanced coating that can store and transfer energy. These paints and coatings are still in stealth mode, but are expected to make their appearance in public soon.

Numerous experiments have been conducted by researchers on paints and coatings. Vantablack Vbx2 is one of the successful outputs of such experiments. Vantablack Vbx2 is a super-black, non-nanotube visible spectrum spray paint, which is used to control a stray light. For the Winter Olympics, South Korea unveiled the world’s darkest building, which uses a coating of Vantablack Vbx2. It is claimed that the building can absorb 99% of light, creating an illusion of void.

Moreover, researchers at Harbin Institute of Technology in China are not far away from smart coating technology. They have created a self-healing smart coating, inspired by the human skin structure. It uses a layer-by-layer technique to form a soft layer of polyvinyl alcohol and tannic acid. If used in a proper amount, it can self-heal from any cuts and damages, and can even kill pathogens.

A prominent researcher, Yang, said, “This is the most desirable property combination in the current self-healing materials and coatings. We have designed a self-healing coating that has a hardness that even approaches tooth enamel by mimicking the structure of epidermis.” According to Yang, this technology can solve the waste problem, as the coating has a long lifespan, and can be the future of scratch-proof mobile phones.

These steps indicate that smart technology is now used widely in the market of paints and Coatings .A comprehensive analysis provided by Research Beam shows rapidly changing market conditions, latest trends, key market players, drivers and opportunities, and challenges.
