The evolution of paints has seen advancements from acrylics to smart coatings with self-healing and color-changing properties. Early developments included acrylics, water-based latex paints, polyurethane coatings, powder coatings, and nanotechnology. Breakthroughs introduced advanced smart coatings, graphene-based coatings, bioluminescent paints, and photocatalytic paints. The smart revolution brought self-healing coatings, responsive color-changing paints, anti-graffiti coatings, and hydrochromic/photochromic paints. Future applications include military use for camouflage and safety, energy efficiency, and solar paint for clean energy production.
