SELF-REPAIRING STRUCTURE AND COATING FOR A CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a structure comprising at least one metal surface subjected to cathodic protection and a protective coating of said surface, said coating comprising a polymer including microcapsules containing compounds sensitive to the electric field generated by the cathodic protection and capable of reacting in an alkaline medium to form a protective layer on the surface of the structure when it is in direct contact with a corrosive medium. The invention also relates to the coating associated with said structure. / p
