Course Objective

During the last few years, interesting results of self-healing polymers and self-healing polymer composites have been reported. The benefit that self-healing brings to the materials is no longer limited to mechanical performance, but expanded into physicochemical, electronic and even data storage properties. This lecture serves only as an introduction and a current description of the practice of the self-healing materials and their usages.
