Self-healing reservoir coating system
DRIVE
March 27, 2013
The system (111) includes a coating (311) for a reservoir (301), the coating (311) being configured to self-heal following a penetration by a projectile through the coating (311) and the reservoir (301). The coating (311) is an elastomeric polymer coating having sufficient elasticity to so as return to the coating (311) to an approximate original shape after the projectile has passed through the coating (311). Further, the coating (311) is configured to hold the reservoir (301) together following severe damage from the projectile.
