Self-healing Characteristics of Collagen Coatings with Respect to Surface Abrasion

A coating based on collagen with self-healing properties was developed for applications in mechanical components that are prone to abrasion due to contact with a counter surface. The inherent swelling behavior of collagen in water was exploited as the fundamental mechanism behind self-healing of a w...
