Embodiment Construction
[0014] In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to polymeric materials having healing agents (eg, chemicals) stored therein. These healing agents may flow onto and / or into the cracked surface of the polymeric material to heal the cracked surface and restore the material integrity of the polymeric material, thereby restoring the overall structure. Using this self-healing technology, polymeric materials are protected from micro-damages such as cracks, scratches, delamination, fiber debonding, etc., that might otherwise require the material to be discarded. The healing process occurs due to available reversible bonds that open in response to the energy input caused by the damage event, allowing local temporary mobility of the polymer. Thus, the polymer is able to bridge the mirror plane at the damaged site, thereby inducing a recovery process of chemical or physical bond strength. Constructing polymers to have these self-healing properties provides these polymers with the a...
