Self-healing polymers and nanocomposites form an important class of responsive materials.
These materials have the capability to reversibly heal their damage. For aerospace …

Composites can be divided into three groups based on their matrix materials, namely
polymer, metal and ceramic. Composite materials fail due to micro cracks. Repairing is …

Mono-and bifunctional supramolecular poly (isobutylene) s (PIBs) bearing hydrogen-
bonding motifs (barbituric acid or a Hamilton wedge) are prepared by a combination of living …

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

Self-healing materials are those that imitate living organisms in respect to their remarkable
ability to heal themselves when they are injured. The development is seen in many ways …

Developing self-healable, recyclable and reprocessable polymer materials is one of the
effective ways to relieve plastic pollution and save resources. Using dynamic reversible …

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 …

The development of hydrophobic composite coatings is of great interest for several
applications in the aerospace industry. Functionalized microparticles can be obtained from …

Several systems to develop self-repairing epoxy resins have recently been formulated. In
this paper the effect of matrix nature and curing cycle on the healing efficiency and dynamic …
