An effective dispersant, oleyl phosphate (OP), for the dispersion of poly(urea-formaldehyde)-based microcapsules in a typical epoxy coating material is proposed. Based on electron microscopy observations and rheological and mechanical characterizations, it is observed that the addition of merely 0.5 wt % of OP is sufficient to obtain good dispersion of the microcapsules in the epoxy. In the self-healing and anticorrosion experiments, a microcapsule content of at least 15 wt % is required to efficiently restore the epoxy matrix and provide corrosion protection to underlying low-carbon steel when the particles are not dispersed; however, the amount of microcapsules required to obtain good self-healing and anticorrosion efficiencies can be greatly reduced to only 5 wt % when the microcapsules are dispersed by OP.
