Self-healing materials: applications in structural and functional materials
Dear colleagues,
This special issue explores the innovative field of self-healing materials, focusing on their applications in both structural and functional materials. The issue will delve into the mechanisms behind self-healing processes, such as microcapsule-based healing, shape memory polymers, and intrinsically healing materials. Researchers and experts are invited to submit original research articles, reviews, and case studies that underscore recent advancements, challenges, and future directions in the development of self-healing materials. By fostering dialogue and knowledge sharing, this special issue aims to promote further exploration and adoption of self-healing technologies in various fields, paving the way for more sustainable and resilient material solutions. It including but not limited to the following topics:
Self-Healing materials
Autonomous Repair
Polymer Chemistry
Microcapsules
Shape Memory Polymers
Intrinsic Healing
Healing Mechanisms
Damage Tolerance
Smart Materials
Self-Repairing Coatings
Functional Materials
Structural Materials
Composite Materials
Recyclability
Durability Enhancement
