Abstract

[Objective/Significance] Aiming at the severe corrosion threat in the marine environment and the limitations of traditional anti-corrosion coatings,the technical core and bottlenecks of self-warning and self-healing intelligent anti-corrosion coatings were clarified to provide a reference for their research and development as well as engineering application.[Analysis/Discussion/Progress]Focusing on marine scenarios,this paper combs the research status and functional mechanisms of self-reporting,self-healing and multi-functional integrated intelligent anti-corrosion coatings,summarizes existing problems and proposes corresponding solutions. It clarifiesthat self-warning relies on fluorescent/color-developing materials,self-healing depends on carrier release/dynamic bonds,and multi-function is achieved through composite filler integration;meanwhile, it identifies bottlenecks such as weak anti-interference of signals and difficulty in balancing self-healing and weather resistance,as well as their corresponding solutions.[Conclusion/Prospect] Intelligent anti-corrosion coatings are an inevitable trend for long-term corrosion protection of marineengineering,in the future,it is necessary to break through technologies such as multi-functionalsynergy and extreme environment adaptation to promote their engineering application.
