Industrial Nanotech announced a new initiative to research and develop "Intelligent Coating" technologies. According to CEO Stuart Burchill,

Intelligent coatings represent the future of the coatings industry. Industrial Nanotech plans to emerge at the forefront of this new and disruptive technology which has the ability to potentially generate a substantial revenue stream for the company. Our current Nansulate line of protective coatings represents the first revolutionary improvement in coatings in decades and our Nansulate IQ line will provide an even higher level of effectiveness and become the future of coatings. Almost every object that is painted including houses, bridges, cars, trucks, tractors, manufacturing equipment and pipelines can eventually benefit from this advanced technology.

What might this intelligent coating--or nano-paint--do for us? Imagine a painted surface that repairs itself when scratched or marred, or that changes color to indicate fatigued structures or to highlight previous damage and repair. Pipelines and industrial facilities could be obvious locations that would benefit from these enhanced inspction techniques.
