Biohybrid microcapsules based on electrosprayed CS-immobilized nanoZrV for self-healing epoxy coating development

) between the 7th and 14th day of immersion. Furthermore, comparative polarization assessment of coating samples with/without defects indicated the accuracy of EIS for self-healing analysis, and showed the sample with no defect was only 2.6 times more corrosion resistant than the scratched coating, as against bare steel substrate that was 22 times less resistant, revealing superior self-healing anticorrosion properties of the coating.
