Self healing in polymers and polymer composites. Concepts, realization and outlook: A review
Open accessAbstract
Formation of microcracks is a critical problem in polymers and polymer composites during their service in structural applications.Development and coalescence of microcracks would bring about catastrophic failure of the materials and then reduce their lifetimes.Therefore, early sensing, diagnosis and repair of microcracks become necessary for removing the latent perils.In this context, the materials possessing self-healing function are ideal for long-term operation.Self-repairing polymers and polymer composites have attracted increasing research interests.Attempts have been made to develop solutions in this field.The present article reviews state-of-art of the achievements on the topic.According to the ways of healing, the smart materials are classified into two categories: (i) intrinsic self-healing ones that are able to heal cracks by the polymers themselves, and (ii) extrinsic in which healing agent has to be pre-embedded.The advances in this field show that selection and optimization of proper repair mechanisms are prerequisites for high healing efficiency.It is a challenging job to either invent new polymers with inherent crack repair capability or integrate existing materials with novel healing system.

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.
