Recent interest in environmentally friendly alternatives to chromate-based corrosion inhibitors has led to the development of a range of novel coating formulations. The work described in this thesis has been aimed at investigating the mechanism of self-healing and active corrosi…

Self-healing systems promise operating cost reductions in large-scale computing environments through the automated detection of, and recovery from, faults. However, at present there appears to be little known empirical evidence comparing the different approaches, or demonstratio…
