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 …

Reversible covalent polymers are able to change their bond arrangement and structure via
reversible reaction triggered by external stimuli including heating, light and pH, while …

Self‐healing materials are able to partially or completely heal damage inflicted on them, eg,
crack formation; it is anticipated that the original functionality can be restored. This article …

The purpose of this review is to provide a critical survey covering a few decades of growing
interest in the application to polymer chemistry of the Diels–Alder (DA) reaction between …

Synergetic self-healing anticorrosion behaviors, by forming a self-assembly protective layer
and repairing coating passive barrier, exhibit great potential in handling the notorious metal …

In this communication, we report the preparation and characterization of new shape memory
assisted self-healing (SMASH) coatings. The coatings feature a phase-separated …

In this study, a new self-healing shape memory polymer (SMP) coating was prepared to
protect the aluminum alloy 2024-T3 from corrosion by the incorporation of dual-function …

Halogen bonding (XB), a non-covalent interaction between an electron-deficient halogen
atom and a Lewis base, is widely adopted in organic synthesis and supramolecular crystal …

Recent developments in material design have seen an exponential increase of polymers
and polymer composites that can repair themselves in response to damage. In this review, a …

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