Self-healing materials

Nanoscience and nanotechnology are moving towards new frontiers and the design and fabrication of self-healing materials is one of the future challenges.

Self-healing materials have great potential for advanced engineering systems, and these types of systems respond without external intervention to environmental stimuli in a nonlinear and productive fashion. Self-healing materials find applications in various fields such as biomedical, electronic, and coatings due to its exceptional properties.

Also, self-healing is helpful for extending the life of materials, but it is especially helpful in situations when human intervention is difficult, such as in space applications, or when there are difficult physical and chemical conditions present.

Over the last decade, self-healing technology and its science have been developed into:

•   New polymers
•   Polymer blends
•   Polymer composites
•   Smart materials with self-healing capabilities.

Market Analysis: The global self-healing materials market size was valued at USD 1.28 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at (CAGR) of 25.5% from 2022 to 2030.
