Viacheslav Pavlenko, Volodymyr Kuzhel, Sergiy Semenchenko, Oleksandr Korniev, Pavlo ChernenkoThe scientific work is aimed at the study of environmentally friendly polymer coatings in the automotive industry, which constantly attracts the attention of scientists and practitioners. The article analyses the current state of technology in this area, reviews the latest research and technological developments, and discusses their prospects for implementation in production. Starting with a review of the latest research on paints and coatings, the paper goes on to discuss self-healing materials and microcapsules that have the potential to create resistant and durable coatings.
The paper also discusses anti-corrosion coatings, which are an important part of protecting automotive structures from the effects of negative environmental factors. Particular attention is paid to the development of environmentally friendly polymer coatings that meet the requirements of sustainable development and reduce the environmental impact of the industry on the environment.
In addition, the latest trends in the industry are analysed, which allows us to predict further directions of technology development and implementation of innovative solutions. The work has important practical application in the automotive industry, contributing to improving the quality of automotive coatings protection against corrosion and extending their service life in various operating conditions. The work is aimed at highlighting relevant aspects of research in the field of environmentally friendly polymer coatings and provides a valuable contribution to the development of this important industry. The results will improve the quality and duration of corrosion protection of paintwork, metal structures and other products.
The use of the latest materials and technologies in the manufacture of coatings is driven by the need for their environmental friendliness, efficiency and durability. However, the introduction of some new technologies faces limitations, in particular, related to their economic feasibility and scalability. In this regard, further research is needed to optimize technologies and materials to achieve greater efficiency in road transport
