Self-healing epoxy coatings and composites for potential applications
Harikrishnan Pulikkal Parambil

S elf-healing materials attract enormous scientific
attention as they offer wide range of applications in
conjunction with long-lasting performance. Self-healable
polymers find potential candidates for construction
materials, automotive parts, electrical encapsulation,
adhesives, coatings, etc. Due to the light weight, high
thermo-mechanical performance, excellent adhesion,
gloss, good chemical resistance, and corrosion resistance,
epoxy resins are preferred over other polymers for coating
applications. Although epoxy resin coatings are widely used
in commercial vehicles and high compact aircraft, their
susceptibility toward scratches and microcracks is a major
concern. Such failures may be addressed by making use of
self-healing epoxy coatings.
Biography
Harikrishnan Pulikkal Parambil is currently pursuing Ph.D. degree in
Materials Science and Production Engineering from The Sirindhorn
International Thai-German graduate institute of Technology, King
Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok, Thailand. He has
published few papers in high quality international journals. His current
research interest is the preparation and characterization of smart
polymeric materials and Automotive Lightweight Composites.
