_Self-Healing Materials: Principles and Technology, Second Edition_
provides engineers and researchers in both industry and academia the
information they need to deploy self-healing technology in a range of
potential applications, from adhesives to the automotive industry, and
from electronics to biomedical implants. Sections discuss the
principal mechanisms of self-healing and how these are applied to the
development of materials that have the ability to repair themselves,
either with minimal or no human intervention. In addition, the book
provides a theoretical background and a review of the major research
undertaken to date, providing a thorough grounding in this concept and
related technology.
Other sections compare the parameters of different self-healing
technological processes, such as fault detection mechanisms, methods
of triggering and turning off the healing processes, the activation
energy of self-healing processes, the means and methods of delivery of
the healing substances to the defect locations, self-healing timescale
(rate of self-healing), and the extent of self-healing (healing
efficiency, recovery of properties, etc.). In addition, mathematical
modeling of the processes of self-healing (molecular dynamics
simulation), the morphology of healed areas, and other important
topics are thoroughly discussed.
* Helps materials scientists and engineers reduce risk of
degradation and materials failure by using self-healing materials in a
range of applications
* Provides real-world application examples so practitioners can
assess the applicability and usefulness of self-healing materials in
their work
* Includes guidance on the efficiency and efficacy of self-healing
mechanisms, with coverage of different parameters considered and
methodologies used
* Discusses typical aids and additives in self-healing materials,
including plasticizers, catalysts, shape-memory components, and more
