Preface
There is apprehension about the undesirable material damage caused in devices by breakage, operational fatigue, volume change, abrasion, shape deformation, and cutting eventually formed during practical usage and degradation over time, resulting in deterioration of device properties. This mechanical damage of devices will reduce their reliability and shorten their lifespan. Thus, the development of suitable materials with self-healing, electrical and ionic properties to overcome the damage is very much the need of the hour. Self-healing smart materials (SHSMs) are one of the smart 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 are having a significant impact in industry due to the self-healing capabilities of the material, which can expand the service life, operational life, longevity, and reliability of the devices; and also reduce 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 are having a great impact on modern wearable applications in energy and environmental science.
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. This book is a result of the commitment of top researchers in the field with various backgrounds and expertise. Its target audience includes materials scientists, polymer industrialists, researchers, members of R&D in wearable electronics; as well as university professors, postgraduate students and academics who are working and studying in the fields of polymers, chemical technology, biology, advanced electronics, polymer engineering, aeronautical engineering. mechanical engineering, biomedicine, advanced sciences, materials sciences, flexible energy storage, and renewable energy. A summary of the information covered in the 21 chapters is given below.
Chapter 1 describes the most recent and relevant advances in the development of self-healable polymer coatings, both extrinsic (those using external healing agents) and intrinsic. Implementation of new strategies, like remote activation of the healing process, as well as the perspectives and challenges for these innovative materials, are also discussed.
Chapter 2 overviews the current progress on the synthesis of benzoxazine-based materials for self-healing and shape-memory applications. The advantages and drawbacks of these materials are also discussed. Many examples are provided
