Molecular Self-Healing Processes in Polymers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
A critical review of self-healing processes in polymers and composites based on polymeric matrices is presented. Two self-healing processes are analyzed, one “operating” within micron range and the other at molecular scale. Preliminary data on the molecular self-healing process in living polymers, as obtained by electron spin resonance are discussed. The possibility to develop a multi-scale self-healing material is suggested.
