Functional Polymers

Part of the book series: Polymers and Polymeric Composites: A Reference Series ((POPOC))

Abstract

The self-healing phenomenon is well-known from nature. Since the last 15 years, several approaches were developed in order to transfer this behavior into synthetic materials and to enable the preparation of multifunctional polymers. The following chapter summarizes the different polymers and their corresponding healing mechanism and provides an overview of the current state of the art. Additionally, the healing of functions as well as the characterization of the self-healing behavior is provided. Furthermore, a short comparison between polymers and other material classes is presented. Finally, the first commercial available systems are summarized showing the way for future developments in this area.
