Polymers are used in many everyday technologies and their degradation due to environmental exposure has lead to great interest in materials which can heal and repair themselves. In order to design new self healing polymers it's important to understand the fundamental healing mechanisms behind the material. Healable Polymer Systems will outline the key concepts and mechanisms underpinning the design and processing of healable polymers, and indicate potential directions for progress in the future development and applications of these fascinating and potentially valuable materials. The book cover.
Healable Polymeric Materials; Encapsulation-Based Self-Healing Polymers and Composites; Chapter 3 -- Reversible Covalent Bond Formation as a Strategy for Healable; Chapter 4 -- Healable Supramolecular Polymeric Materials; Thermodynamics of Self-Healing Reactions and their Application in Polymeric Materials.
