What is Characterization of Self-healing Polymeric Materials about?

As described in other chapters, self-healing polymeric materials, inspiring from biological systems in nature, have been attracted much research interest, considering these materials as a promising candidate for a new generation of smart materials. It is expected that these materials offer extended service life, boosted durability and reliability, and significantly reduced the cost of repairs and maintenances [1]. Therefore these materials can be employed with a greater confidence factor even in structural applications such as in the structural elements of the aircraft and spacecraft [1,2]. Efficient self-healing polymers, polymeric composites, and polymeric coatings are crucial to employ in many engineering applications due to their light specific weight, excellent processability, as well as chemical stability [2,3]. The pioneering research on the development of self-healing polymers was introduced by White et al. in 2001 [4]. Their results confirmed that encapsulated dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) could release from ruptured microcapsules and after ring-opening polymerization to poly(dicyclopentadiene), by dispersed Grubbs' catalyst, autonomously healed the epoxy matrix [4]. They used
