Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new polymer coating which can provide an early warning of structural damage and can be applied to coat metals, other polymers and glass.
The early indication system features a polymer coating that will allow engineers to address problem areas before they become more of an issue or lead to major damage of the material. The early warning system would be of particular use on applications featured in the aerospace, petroleum and infrastructure industries, such as buildings, petroleum pipelines,…
