Natural evolution has provided multicellular organisms with sophisticated functionalities and
repair mechanisms for surviving and preserve their functions after an injury and/or infection …

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 nonpolar nature of polyolefins is one of their biggest limitations. Now, an efficient route
to generate polar‐functionalized, crosslinkable, self‐healing, photoresponsive polyolefins …

Self-healing materials are of fundamental interest and practical importance. Herein we
report the synthesis of a new class of self-healing materials, formed by the copolymerization …

Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is an applied engineering polymeric material having
immense transformative potential for industrial applications because of its unique rubber like …

Healing-on-demand materials exhibit the capability to close cracks and heal the
closed/narrowed cracks when needed and to recover functionality using intrinsic or extrinsic …

Polymer blends with self-healing capability when damaged have received increasing
interests and have been developing rapidly because of their many potential applications …

To enable repeated intrinsic self-healing of wider cracks in polymers, a proof-of-concept
approach is verified in the present work. It operates through two-way shape memory effect …

Shape-memory and stimuli-healable polymers (SMP and SHP) are two types of emerging
smart materials. Among the many stimuli that can be used to control SMP and SHP, light is …

Research on shape memory polymer is developing promptly over the past three decades,
holding the promise to apply in micro actuators, medicine, basic science, biological science …
