Self‐Healing Materials for Environmental Applications
This chapter discusses the polymeric self‐healing materials in environmental applications, as well as their chemical mechanism and self‐healing modes behind. The initial overview of self‐healing materials gradually covered the entire spectrum of materials from polymers to metals and ceramics. To be more convenient to discuss the design and fundamental mechanism of self‐healing materials, the self‐healing materials are categorized into two types: extrinsic and intrinsic self‐healing materials depending on the source of self‐healing agents. Extrinsic self‐healing materials do not have self‐healing capability in the matrix. In contrast, intrinsic self‐healing materials do not need an additional healing agent, and the molecules that constitute the matrix can act as the healing agent by themselves. With better understanding the healing phenomenon at the nano‐ to microscale, more novel self‐healing materials and scalable fabrication strategies could be created. The devices made from self‐healing materials can eventually be functional in severe working conditions, like deep sea or even outer space.
