Abstract
Organic piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) show promise for monitoring damage in mechanical equipment. However, weak interfacial bonding between the reinforcing phase and the fluorinated material limits the feedback signal from the damaged area. In this study, we developed a PENG film capable of real-time identification of the damage location and extent. By incorporating core-shell barium titanate (BTO@PVDF-HFP) nanoparticles, we achieved enhanced piezoelectric characteristics, flexibility, and processability. The composite film exhibited an expanded output voltage range, reaching 41.8 V with an increase in frequency, load, and damage depth. Additionally, the film demonstrated self-powered electroluminescence (EL) during the wear process, thanks to its inherent ferroelectric properties and the presence of luminescent ZnS:Cu particles. Unlike conventional PENG electroluminescent devices, the PENG film exhibited luminescence at the damage location over a wide temperature range. Our findings offer a novel approach for realizing modular and miniaturized real-time damage mapping systems in the field of safety engineering.

Abstract
Organic coatings lack durability in marine corrosive environments. Herein, we designed a self-healing coating with a novel nanofiber network filler for enhanced protection. Using electrospinning, we created a core-shell structure nanofiber network consisting of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) as the shell material and gallic acid (GA) and phenanthroline (Phen) as the core material. The PVB@GA-Phen nanofiber network, which includes synergistic corrosion inhibitors (GA-Phen), was embedded in an epoxy coating (PVB@GA-Phen/epoxy) and applied to carbon steel. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations demonstrated that the GA-Phen combination, through hydrogen bond interaction, facilitated inhibitor adsorption on the steel surface. The GA-Phen combination diagnosed corrosion and formed a protective film on the scratched areas. The sustained release of Phen-GA combination inhibitors for up to 240 h resulted in an 88.63% healing efficiency of the PVB@GA-Phen/epoxy (PGP/EP) coating. The long-term corrosion resistance tests confirmed the effective barrier performance of the PGP/EP coating in 3.5 wt % NaCl solution. Moreover, the incorporation of the nanofiber network in the epoxy coating provided passive barrier, corrosion-diagnosing, and anticorrosion properties for carbon steel protection. The designed coating has the potential to continuously monitor the coating/metal system and could serve as a foundation for developing new anticorrosion coatings.

Abstract
In a "smart" corrosion-protective coating system, both the active anti-corrosion and the early corrosion detection of underlying metals are highly required. It is practical significant to develop materials that possess self-detecting of the early local corrosion and self-healing of coating defects simultaneously. The organic compound 8-hydroxyquinoline (8HQ) is an effective inhibitor and a fluorescent sensor probe for corrosion of aluminum alloy. Therefore, a layer double hydroxide (LDH) nanocontainer film loaded with the 8HQ was developed for the active corrosion protection purpose of aluminum alloy AA2024. In corrosive environments, the 8HQ are released from LDH film to inhibit the corrosion process, leading to the loss of the complexation with Al3+ ions in LDH laminates, thus turning off fluorescence. Results show that the LDH film loaded with 8HQ composites can improve the anti-corrosion performance of the film by releasing corrosion inhibitors on demand. Simultaneously, due to the complexation of 8HQ and Al3+ ions, the LDH film is fluorescent at the initial stage under ultraviolet light, and then becomes non-fluorescent at the corrosion sites, indicating the corrosion evolution process of the coating. The 8HQ-loaded LDH film with self-healing and self-detecting dual functions provides promising opportunities for the effective corrosion protection of aluminum alloy due to its "smart" and multifunctional properties.

Abstract
Smart polymeric coatings with early corrosion self-warning and damage self-repairing characteristics have garnered tremendous interest due to their ability to sense corrosion reactions and repair coating defects. However, tracking the repair process and its underlying protection mechanism is highly challenging. Herein, we report the construction of a novel composite coating by incorporating multifunctional nanosensors (graphene oxide-zeolitic imidazole frameworks loaded with 1,10-phenanthroline) into a thermo-responsive polyurethane. Under damaging events, the localized acidity derived from metal corrosion stimulates the decomposition of the nanosensors to produce 1,10-phenanthroline and benzimidazole. The generated ferrous ions are rapidly sensed by the released 1,10-phenanthroline to produce a conspicuous red color, which warns of the corrosion occurrence. In profiting from the photothermal effect of graphene oxide, the composite coating exhibits efficient crack closure behavior under near-infrared light irradiation. Morphology observation indicates that a coating scratch (about 30 μm wide) almost closed with 20 s of irradiation. The photothermally activated crack closure combined with benzimidazole inhibition endows the prepared coating with superior self-repairing performance. Interestingly, the change in color intensity around the coating defect can assist in tracking the repair process. Therefore, this work provides a novel strategy to visualize microscopic behaviors during damage and repair processes.

Abstract
Embedding two-dimension micro/nanocontainers containing corrosion inhibitors into organic coating is a well-established concept to impart the coating with enhanced barrier and self-healing feature. Herein, a versatile nanoemulsion assembly approach was used to synthesis nanocarriers combing mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA) with reduced graphene oxide (GO), which was employed to encapsulate corrosion inhibitors (benzotriazole, BTA) to improve the anticorrosion performance of waterborne epoxy coating. The BTA release profiles from synthesized GO with MPDA (PDAG) demonstrated the rapid pH-triggered activities to acidic corrosion environment. With the addition of BTA-loaded PDAG, the composited epoxy coatings presented self-repairing behavior and enhanced corrosion resistance during long-term immersion. The outstanding anticorrosion performance is attributed to dual-protection mechanism provided by BTA-loaded PDAG: (1) MPDA endows GO with satisfactory interface compatibilities and thus provides impermeable barrier to delay the penetration process of corrosive electrolyte; (2) corrosion inhibitors including BTA and polydopamine form the adsorption layers on bare steel surface to resist continuous corrosion at metal/coating interface.

Abstract
Self-reporting smart materials are highly relevant in modern soft matter materials science, as they allow for the autonomous detection of changes in synthetic polymers, materials, and composites. Despite critical advantages of such materials, for example, prolonged lifetime or prevention of disastrous material failures, they have gained much less attention than self-healing materials. However, as diagnosis is critical for any therapy, it is of the utmost importance to report the existence of system changes and their exact location to prevent them from spreading. Thus, we herein critically review the chemistry of self-reporting soft matter materials systems and highlight how current challenges and limitations may be overcome by successfully transferring self-reporting research concepts from the laboratory to the real world. Especially in the space of diagnostic self-reporting systems, the recent SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic indicates an urgent need for such concepts that may be able to detect the presence of viruses or bacteria on and within materials in a self-reporting fashion.

Abstract
Metal substrates beneath polymeric coatings are susceptible to localized corrosion, which could result in lifetime reduction and catastrophic failure without timely repair treatment. In situ detection of corrosion and repair coating defects are in high demand yet challenging to fulfill so far. Herein, we report a smart polymeric coating by integrating nanosensors into the coating matrix, which is capable of efficient corrosion sensing and active anticorrosion protecting. The nanosensors were constructed by zeolitic imidazolate framework encapsulated with the polyethylene glycol-tannic acid complex. The morphology, chemical constitution, and stimulus responsiveness of nanosensors were systematically analyzed. The generation of local corrosion beneath coating can be promptly sensed and reported by a conspicuous purple color derived from tannic-iron ion coordinates. Meanwhile, local electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results proved that the metal degradation process at the defected interface can be largely inhibited, exhibiting active anticorrosion property. Furthermore, the constructed smart coating possessed superior impermeability and long-term protective performance under simulated seawater and harsh salts spray conditions. This feasible and effective strategy based on simple nanosensors to engineer smart coatings paves a new way to develop high environmental adaptability protective materials with protecting, corrosion sensing, and self-healing functions.

Abstract
The development of mechanochromic or self-reporting polymers that can indicate damage or fatigue of materials with an optical signal has become of paramount interest to ensure the reliability of the materials and prevent catastrophic failure. This technology can potentially find usefulness for various applications, including in situ monitoring of mechanical events and structural health monitoring systems. An emerging and versatile approach to achieve mechanochromic properties relies on the encapsulation of dye solutions that can be released and activated (chemically or physically) when the walls of the capsules are mechanically damaged. While the mechanochromic effect can be achieved with different types of dyes and operating principles, this framework can also be designed with encapsulating-containers of different shapes and shell materials, such as microcapsules, hollow glass fibers, vascular networks, and micelles, making this concept applicable to a broad range of polymer matrices. An overview of the different encapsulation approaches that have been employed to prepare mechanochromic polymers is given, with a focus on the containers used for this purpose. A brief description of the containers' preparation is provided, and their associated chromic operating principles and progress in their designs are reviewed.

Abstract
Strategies for corrosion protection are required to prolong the life span of metallic structures used by the construction, aerospace, and transport industries. Currently, there are no coatings that can provide at the same time information about the corrosion status of the coated metal and protect the metal against corrosive species and mechanical damage. Herein, triple-functional microcarriers with functions of corrosion sensing, self-healing, and corrosion inhibition are produced and embedded in coatings to prolong the lifetime of metals and enhance the anticorrosion performance of coatings. The microcarriers are prepared by creating Pickering droplets loaded with a corrosion inhibitor and a healing agent and stabilized by silica nanocapsules containing thymol blue as corrosion sensor. The microcarriers are then embedded in a water-based polymer matrix coated on metal substrates. When the coating or metal is mechanically damaged, the healing agent is released from the droplets to hinder further corrosion of the metal. When the local pH value near the metal surface is changing by the generation of hydroxide ion due to the corrosion process, a change of color is detected as well as a release of corrosion inhibitor, leading to a significant decrease of corrosion rate of the coated metal.
