Cover: SEM images of a cross‐section of each scratched specimen coated with the plain polymer (left), the 3 vol% TiO 2 particle‐polymer composite (center), or the 10 vol% TiO 2 particle‐polymer composite (right) after a 48‐h test (upper panel). The lower panel shows magnified views of the edge of the defects generated in the aluminum alloy substrates, which are shown in the rectangular frames in the upper panels. Thicker film was observed on the substrate coated with the 3 vol% TiO 2 particle‐polymer composite by the self‐healing effect of TiO 2 particle‐polymer composite coatings. More detailed information can be found in: A. Yabuki, W. Urushihara, J. Kinugasa, K. Sugano, Self‐healing properties of TiO 2 particle‐polymer composite coatings for protection of aluminum alloys against corrosion in seawater, Materials and Corrosion 2011, 62, page 907 .
