Ever since the emergence of polymers, there has been interest in the production of “self-
healing” materials. Over the last decade this dream has become closer to reality with the …

The development of smart coatings with potential for active anticorrosion and self-healing
protection of metals is essential for long-term performance of metallic structures in …

Robust self‐healing thermoplastic elastomers are expected to have repeated healing
capability, remarkable mechanical properties, transparency, and superior toughness. The …

Self-healing coatings inspired by biological systems possess the ability to repair physical
damage or recover functional performance with minimal or no intervention. This article …

Coatings tailored to corrosion protection of metallic substrates are of the utmost relevance to
ensure reliability and long-term performance of coated parts as well as the product value of …

Inspired by naturally occurring species that allow for self-healing of nonfatal harm, self-
