Self-healing layer on non-ferrous metals using polyoxometalates

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for applying a multifunctional layer on a substrate. Accordingly said layer is applied by means of a process by using an aqueous solution that comprises a POM and/or a crack-healing agent, which POM and/or a crack healing agent is/are incorporated in said layer during said process to obtain a self-healing layer.Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
