Abstract

There is real interest in self-healing polymer coatings for corrosion protection right now, and real uncertainty about exactly
where it delivers the most value. We pull together the current evidence for self-healing polymer coatings for corrosion protection,
covering the methodological, practical, regulatory and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely settled and where
engineers and reviewers are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific adoption looks better supported
by the evidence gathered here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance.
