The ability of artificial materials to be healed efficiently, mimicking the living organisms,
exhibits a great deal of potential advantages that can revolutionise the operation and …

Ever since the emergence of polymers, there has been interest in the production of “self-
healing” materials. Over the last decade this dream has become closer to reality with the …

Covalent adaptable networks (CANs), unlike typical thermosets or other covalently
crosslinked networks, possess a unique, often dormant ability to activate one or more forms …

The most important properties of self‐healing polymers are efficient recovery at room
temperature and prolonged durability. However, these two characteristics are contradictory …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) represent a highly interesting class of materials. As one
representative of the intelligent polymeric systems, these materials gained significant …

During the last few years, different kinds of autonomic and non-autonomic self-healing
materials have been prepared using diverse techniques for a number of applications. The …

The huge consumption and rapid expansion of polymeric materials in the world have
caused pervasive environmental pollution and severe waste of material resources, urging …

Inspired by naturally occurring species that allow for self-healing of nonfatal harm, self-
healing polymeric materials have been prepared and represent a component of the …

Cross-linked polymers constructed with dynamic-covalent boronic esters were synthesized
via photoinitiated radical thiol–ene click chemistry. Because the reversibility of the boronic …

Wounds are a major health concern affecting the lives of millions of people. Some wounds
may pass a threshold diameter to become unrecoverable by themselves. These wounds …
