What is Self Healing?
Self healing is a process of self-recovery. It is usually guided by instinct and is also motivated by the patient. Unlike medical treatments, self-healing is a practice that is conducted by amateurs. Extrinsic self-healing polymersExtrinsic self-healing polymers can be used to repair damaged materials and improve their lifetime. These systems are developed with the help of reversible cycloaddition reactions. The healing agents are embedded in the material matrix, which allows for the self-healing process to take place. There are two main types of self-healing polymer systems. Intrinsic and non-autonomous. An intrinsic system can respond to both internal and external stimuli.
