Description
The development of suitable materials with self-healing, electrical and ionic properties to overcome damage is very much the need of the hour. Self-healing smart materials (SHSMs) are one of the smart class of materials that can automatically restore some or all of a devices’ functions after suffering external mechanical damage or harsh environments. In particular, because of their wide-ranging practical applications, SHSMs have a significant impact on business as they can expand the service life of a device, extend the operational life, longevity, and reliability of the devices, while also reducing waste, thereby conserving resources. The advancement of wearable electronic devices which use self-activating and self-adjusting systems are promising for enhancing operational safety and lifespan. Moreover, the use of SHSMs in manufacturing devices is an excellent choice to re-establish electrical and mechanical properties in case of a mechanical failure. Hence, an understanding about “self-healable technology” and all its related concepts is very essential for modern industries and research communities since these SHSMs and their composites have a great impact on modern wearable applications.
This book describes the design, synthesis, mechanisms, characterization, fundamental properties, functions and development of SHSMs and their composites with their associated applications. It covers cementitious concrete composites, bleeding composites, elastomers, tires, membranes, and composites in energy storage, coatings, shape-memory, aerospace and robotic applications.
