Self-Healing Polymers and Polymer Composites

A state-of-art guide on the interdisciplinary aspects of design,
chemistry, and physical properties of bio-inspired self-healing
polymers

Inspired by the natural self-healing properties that exist in
living organisms--for example, the regenerative ability of
humans to heal from cuts and broken bones--interest in
self-healing materials is gaining more and more attention.
Addressing the broad advances being made in this emerging science,
Self-Healing Polymers and Polymer Composites incorporates
fundamentals, theory, design, fabrication, characterization, and
application of self-healing polymers and polymer composites to
describe how to prepare self-healing polymeric materials, how to
increase the speed of crack repair below room temperature, and how
to broaden the spectrum of healing agent species.

Some of the information readers will discover in this book
include:

* Focus on engineering aspects and theoretical backgrounds of
smart materials

* The systematic route for developing techniques and materials to
advance the research and applications of self-healing polymers

* Integration of existing techniques and introduction of novel
synthetic approaches and target-oriented materials design and
fabrication

* Techniques for characterizing the healing process of polymers
and applications of self-healing polymers and polymer
composites

* Practical aspects of self-healing technology in various
industrial fields, such as electronics, automotive, construction,
chemical production, and engineering

With this book, readers will have a comprehensive understanding
of this emerging field, while new researchers will understand the
framework necessary for innovating new self-healing solutions.
