Self-healing materials are attracting increasing interest of the research community, over the
last decades, due to their efficiency in detecting and “autonomically” healing damage …

Z-pinned laminates and sandwich materials are an important class of composites with
current applications in aircraft and emerging uses in other light-weight engineered products …

This paper reviews multifunctional structural materials, particularly continuous fiber polymer-
matrix composites. The non-structural functions include sensing, EMI shielding, heating …

Polymer-based materials are extensively used in various applications such as aircrafts,
civilian structures, oil and gas platforms and electronics. They are, however, inherently …

Repair in composite materials is tending towards autonomic healing systems. This is a
technological departure from the mechanical repair currently practiced in industry. For …

The increasing use of fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs) in industries such as aerospace,
marine, and automotive, has resulted in a necessity to monitor the structural integrity of …

Recently emerging mechanochromic systems are becoming highly attractive for structural
health monitoring (SHM) purposes in various industries, such as civil, wind, and aerospace …

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 …

Highly flexible nanocomposites have tremendous potential as smart, self-sensing materials
because their conductivity is inherently linked to their mechanical state. Herein, carbon …

Self-healing fabrics respond to chemical and physical damage by restoring functional,
structural, and morphological features. We present a comprehensive review of textile hybrids …
