MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641020833 A) filed by Velammal Engineering College; Dr. N. Balamurugapandian; R. Rama Nachiar; Dr. K. Kavitha; and Dr. V. Anitha, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Feb. 23, for 'a self-healing anti-corrosion polymer coating composition containing microencapsulated healing agent and corrosion inhibitors.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. N. Balamurugapandian; R. Rama Nachiar; Dr. K. Kavitha; and Dr. V. Anitha.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a self-healing anti-corrosion polymer coating composition comprising a polymer matrix embedded with microencapsulated healing agents and corrosion inhibitors. Upon formation of cracks or mechanical damage in the coating, the microcapsules rupture and release the healing agent which polymerizes to seal the crack, while the corrosion inhibitor forms a protective film on the exposed metal surface. The invention provides autonomous crack repair, enhanced corrosion resistance, extended service life, and reduced maintenance cost for metallic structures exposed to industrial, marine, and atmospheric environments."
