Chitosan Microspheres Enable Smart Corrosion Warning Coatings
Researchers have developed a smart corrosion-warning coating based on chitosan microspheres encapsulating phenolphthalein. The pH-responsive system visibly signals localised corrosion through a striking red colour change within 30 seconds, offering a powerful tool for predictive maintenance of metallic substrates.
