Hydrogels—natural or synthetic polymer networks that swell in water—can be made
mechanically, chemically and electrically compatible with living tissues. There has been …

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 …

Robots are increasingly assisting humans in performing various tasks. Like special agents
with elite skills, they can venture to distant locations and adverse environments, such as the …

The effect of layer orientation on the fracture properties of poly (acrylonitrile-
butadienestyrene)(ABS) materials fabricated through the fused filament fabrication (FFF) …

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 …

Fracture toughness testing of materials at the micrometer scale has become essential due to
the continuing miniaturization of devices accompanied by findings of size effects in fracture …

To provide self-healing ability to polyurethane elastomer, alkoxyamine-based diol was
synthesized and reacted with tri-functional homopolymer of hexamethylene diisocyanate (tri …

Here, we review the state-of-the-art in the field of engineered self-healing materials. These
materials mimic the functionalities of various natural materials found in the human body (eg …

In this book, the self-healing of composite structures with shape memory polymer as either
matrix or embedded suture is systematically discussed. Self-healing has been well known in …
