3. Self-Healing Materials: Design and Applications
-
M. Nazir Tahir
Abstract
Objects and materials that can regenerate themselves spontaneously and autonomously, and restore their initial properties after suffering from damages (strain, puncture, cracks, etc.) seem to be coming directly out of a Sci-Fi movie. With the recent progress in soft materials, polymer chemistry, and materials chemistry, selfhealing materials are becoming a reality, bringing a multitude of exciting opportunities and possibilities for various day-to-day life applications such as healthcare, electronics, telecommunication, transport, infrastructure, and others. In this chapter, we will cover important concepts for self-healing and describe some recent examples of highly efficient self-healing materials. A special emphasis will be put on the chemistry of this class of materials by examining different strategies that can be used to design more efficient and autonomously intrinsic self-healing materials. Finally, examples of applications of self-healing materials for organic electronics will be described, highlighting some of the promises of self-healing materials for the next generation of smart materials.
