Engineering applications of synthetic polymers are widespread due to their availability,
processability, low density, and diversity of mechanical properties (Figure 1a). Despite their …

Inspired by naturally occurring species that allow for self-healing of nonfatal harm, self-
healing polymeric materials have been prepared and represent a component of the …

Microcapsules were applied to encapsulate bacterial spores for self-healing concrete. The
viability of encapsulated spores and the influence of microcapsules on mortar specimens …

The main objective of this review is to describe some of the important topics related to the
use of marine and protective coatings for anticorrosive purposes. In this context,“protective” …

This review will present a comprehensive view of the field of stimuli-responsive healable
materials. It will begin with an examination of the healing of polymeric materials, briefly …

Stimuli-responsive capsules are of interest in drug delivery, fragrance release, food
preservation, and self-healing materials. Many methods are used to trigger the release of …

Microcapsules containing reactive diisocyanate for use in self-healing polymers are
successfully fabricated via interfacial polymerization of polyurethane (PU). Isocyanates are …

Self‐healing functionality is imparted to a poly (dimethyl siloxane)(PDMS) elastomer. This
new material is produced by the incorporation of a microencapsulated PDMS resin and a …

Two new thermoresponsive self‐healing polyurethanes (1DA1T and 1.5 DA1T) based on
the Diels–Alder (DA) reaction between furan and maleimide moieties are developed that …

Structural and functional thermosetting composite materials are exposed to different kinds of
stress which can damage the polymer matrix, thus impairing the intended properties …
