properties. Unfortunately, considerable attention has been paid to the development of more light and higher efficient EAMs, while little work has been done on their durability. The preparation of durable EAMs is still a big challenge until now.Endowing coatings with self-healing capabilities into is a good way to enhance the coating lifetime. After damage occurs, self-healing coatings are able to heal the scratches and recover their functionality. The strategies applied for bulk polymer materials have already been used for design of self-healing polymer coatings. There are two main ways: extrinsic and intrinsic strategies. [19][20][21][22] The extrinsic ones are based on encapsulation of healing agents in the coatings. The advantages of this approach are that the self-healing process is fast, efficient and autonomous. But in the case of electromagnetic coatings, the compatibility of electromagnetic wave absorbing fillers, self-healing encapsules and polymer matrix is an intractable problem and the inhomogeneous distributions of multicontainers may cause the problem of uncontrollable properties. The intrinsic strategy bases on the inherent reversibility of chemical bonds or supramolecular interactions between the damage interfaces. [23] But using intrinsic self-healing polymer as coating is harder than construction of corresponding bulk healing materials because the strong binding between coating and underlying substrate restricts the migration of molecular chains. Especially for the functional coatings, such as electromagnetic coatings, introducing reversible interactions to polymer matrix always requires a complex synthesis process. [24] Very recently, we developed a kind of conductive elastomer with autonomic self-healing properties. [25] Without the introduction of foreign aid healing agent, or the complex synthesis of intrinsic self-healing polymer matrix, the resulting materials showed self-healing ability owing to the host-guest interactions between functional fillers (nanotube), and the classic polymer matrix. In this paper, we further expand this design strategy for the preparation of electromagnetic absorbing coatings. A kind of self-healing coating with good electromagnetic absorbing properties was prepared by connecting the electromagnetic wave absorbing fillers and classic polyacrylate coating through host-guest interactions. When the coating thickness is 4 mm, the reflection loss (RL) below −10.0 dB at 8.7-18.0 GHz and minimum values reaches 27.2 dB. After being damaged, the cracks on this coating can be healed completely with the aid of small amounts of water; simultaneously, the electromagnetic absorbing ability of the coating is restored along with the self-healing process. Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles were selected as Electromagnetic Wave Absorbing Materials Electromagnetic wave absorption coatings can effectively minimize electromagnetic radiation and are widely used in the military and civil field. However, even small scratches on the coating can lead to a large decline of absorption ability and bri...
