This self–contained reference, written by a team of renowned international authors adopt a didactical approach to systematically cover all important aspects of designing self–healing polymers from concepts to applications – transferring lessons learnt from nature to materials science. It is the first to discuss the chemical and physical concepts for self–healing polymers, including aspects of biomimetic processes of healing in nature and tissue regeneration. Chapters will cover the design of self–healing polymers and explain the dynamics in these systems. Different self–healing concepts such as encapsulated systems and supramolecular systems are also included, with analysis and friction detection in self–healing polymers and on applications rounding off the whole.
