The new film that formed by the polymerisation of tung oil at the scratched area displayed a resistance value of more than 106 Ω·cm of the oxide layer in the neat epoxy coating. A neutral salt spray tests also confirmed the good anti-corrosion performance of the self-healing coating. Jianyang Li et al., Progress in Organic Coatings, 2021, Vol. 156. ...
