A Self-Repairing Entropy-Stabilized Oxide as a Protective Coating

所有生物有机体，从植物到生物，都可以治愈轻微的伤口和损伤。基于CI团队最近的突破，该项目旨在设计和开发一种含有多种元素的新型氧化物（AlCoCrCu0.5FeNi）3O4，该氧化物可以通过自修复机制抵抗损伤。通过射频（RF）磁控溅射制造，这种非凡的自修复现象使这种新材料非常适合作为涂层，以保护在恶劣条件下工作的结构和机械。因此，它在空间技术、核电设施和航空航天工业以及造船工业中具有广泛的应用。

All biological organisms, from plants to living creatures, can heal minor wounds and damages. Based on the recent breakthrough by the CI’s team, this project aims to design and develop a new oxide containing multiple elements in a form of (AlCoCrCu0.5FeNi)3O4 that can resist damages through a self-repairing mechanism. Fabricated by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering, this extraordinary self-repairing phenomenon makes this new material highly desirable as a coating to protect structures and machinery working in hash conditions. Therefore, it has broad applications in space technologies, nuclear power facilities and aerospace industry, as well as in shipbuilding industry.
