Self-healing polymer composites possess the inherent ability to heal the damage event
autonomically or non-autonomically with external intervention. These advanced materials …

Synthetic materials used in a wide range of applications are prone to damage in the form of
cracking/microcracking. Catastrophic failure of the materials may occur due to the growth …

This review aims at guiding both new and established researchers in the field of self-healing
by providing a clear overview of the fifteen most important chemistries used in autonomous …

Self-healing materials (SHEM) have extensive characteristics that significantly influence
structural and polymeric components' damage detection and healing behaviour. The …

The development of high performance self-healing composites is still at an early stage due
to the difficulty to integrate self-healing mechanisms in their structure by applying current …

This paper presents a first successful attempt to obtain a conductivity mapping at nanoscale
level of a new multifunctional fire retardant graphene/polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane …

This review is devoted to the description of methods for the self-healing of polymers, polymer
composites, and coatings. The self-healing of damages that occur during the operation of …

Reprocessability and reparability are possible with thermoplastics but are rarely
encountered with thermosets, which are used much more frequently in many applications …

Product lifetime extension is key strategy for a functioning Circular Economy. Yet, the role of
material innovation and how this might contribute to longer product and material lifetimes …

Reversible Hydrogen Bonds (RHB) have been explored to confer self-healing function to
multifunctional nanocomposites. This study has been carried out through a sequence of …
