Conductive hydrogels have generated great interest in biomedical and electrical fields.
However, conventional conductive hydrogels usually lack self-healing properties, which …

Many different polymers and polymer composites are used for engineering applications in
which friction and wear are critical issues. This article briefs (a) the importance of polymer …

Self-healing materials are attracting increasing interest of the research community, over the
last decades, due to their efficiency in detecting and “autonomically” healing damage …

Smart self-healing coatings for corrosion protection of metallic substrates (steel, magnesium,
and aluminium, and their alloys) have attracted tremendous interest due to their capability to …

Self-healing polymer composites possess the inherent ability to heal the damage event
autonomically or non-autonomically with external intervention. These advanced materials …

Smart coatings are innovative coatings that can react spontaneously, due to inbuilt stimuli-
responsive mechanisms. The functionality obtained from these class of coatings at the metal …

This review aims at guiding both new and established researchers in the field of self-healing
by providing a clear overview of the fifteen most important chemistries used in autonomous …

A multiscale progressive damage modelling methodology for 3-dimensional (3D) woven
composites is presented. The proposed methodology is generic and can be implemented in …

Self-healing composites are composite materials capable of automatic recovery when
damaged. They are inspired by biological systems such as the human skin which are …

Damage tolerance of a unique resin-infused thermoplastic (Elium) 3D fibre-reinforced
composite (3D-FRC) is compared with the conventional resin-infused thermoset (Epoxy) 3D …
