Durability and Self-healing Effects of Hydrogel Coatings with respect to Contact Condition

Abstract The self-healing property of a hydrogel applied to a glass substrate as a thin polymer coating was assessed. The motivation was to develop a durable hydrogel coating that may be used to protect the surface of precision components from surface damage and scratches. The intrinsic swelling beh...
