Multiphase self healing concept based on self-assembly of hydrogen bonding polymer.
Multiphase self healing concept based on self-assembly of hydrogen bonding polymer.

Chemical and physical principles to achieve self healing (SH) polymers with shape-persistent and multiple healing properties are reviewed, focusing on recent literature of the past ∼10 years. The interplay of different healing principles in one and the same material, together with principles to achieve shape-persistent SH polymers (microphase segregation, cluster formation, nanofillers/nanocomposites, shape-memory effect) is discussed citing ∼ 80 references.
