Light-triggered self-healing and shape-memory polymers
Abstract
In this review, we highlight the recent progress made in light-controlled self-healing and shape memory polymers. We analyse the materials design, underlying mechanisms and chemistries involved in the different methods developed for these two types of emerging photoresponsive materials. We show that these two seemingly different groups of functional materials are linked by a number of common approaches enabling their optical control, particularly the approaches based on the photothermal effect and photochemical reactions of photoswitching groups incorporated in polymer structures. Possible future developments and perspectives of using light as a unique trigger for polymer self-healing and shape-memory are also discussed.

“In contrast to the photo-thermal effect, where the light is only used during the sample recovery process and not in the programming of the temporary shape, in the case of the photo-responsive systems the light source allowed to achieve both processes through the presence of photo-sensitive functional groups along the polymer chain [51,52].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
