Extrinsic and Intrinsic Approaches to Self-Healing Polymers and Polymer Composites

[b]Explore the cutting-edge in self-healing polymers and composites[/b] In [i]Extrinsic and Intrinsic Approaches to Self-Healing Polymers and Polymer Composites,[/i] a pair of distinguished materials scientists delivers an insightful and up-to-date exploration of the fundamentals, theory, design, fabrication, characterization, and application of self-healing polymers and polymer composites. The book discusses how to prepare self-healing polymeric materials, how to increase the speed of crack repair, high temperature applications, and how to broaden the spectrum of healing agent species. The authors emphasize the integration of existing techniques with novel synthetic appr…
