Molecular Self-Healing Processes in Polymers Academic Article

abstract

• ABSTRACTA 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.
