Emerging Smart Materials: Recent Development in Self-healing Elastomers

Abstract

Smart materials based on olefins, diolefins, renewable materials and others reactive monomers are witnessing a rapid growth across different applications sectors such as electronics, health care, automotive, textile, building, construction, agriculture & Energy. Materials development is currently moving at high pace both in academia and in industry due to their diverse commercial potential and beneficial merit for the society. Self – healing elastomers have emerged as high potential materials among different class of smart materials capable of healing damage by itself fully or partially leading to prevention of failure. The cause of material damage can be thermal, mechanical, chemical and /or combination of these factors leading to catastrophic failure of the product. The self - healing characteristic enhances the safety of the products and extend their lifetime. Key words: Damage repair, Elastomer, Microcapsule, Self-Healing, Smart Material
