Porous polymer films with varying pore sizes were prepared by changing the evaporation time of an organic solvent. A specimen was prepared consisting of porous polymer film containing corrosion inhibitor coated onto carbon steel. The specimens were scratched with a knife-edge, and the polarization resistance was monitored in a sodium chloride solution. An increase in polarization resistance was confirmed, and the films with larger-sized pores demonstrated a higher self-healing capability.
