An Introduction to Material Design Principles: Damage Prevention versus Damage Management -- Self Healing Polymers and Composites -- Re-Mendable Polymers -- Thermally Induced Self Healing of Thermosetting Resins and Matrices in Smart Composites -- Ionomers as Self Healing Polymers -- Self Healing Fibre-reinforced Polymer Composites: an Overview -- Self Healing Polymer Coatings -- Self Healing in Concrete Materials -- Self Healing Concrete: A Biological Approach -- Exploring Mechanism of H ealing in Asphalt Mixtures and Quantifying its Impact -- Self Healing in Aluminium Alloys -- Crack and Void Healing in Metals -- Advances in Transmission Electron Microscopy: Self Healing or is Prevention Better than Cure? -- Self Healing in Coatings at High Temperatures -- Hierarchical Structure and Repair of Bone: Deformation, Remodelling, Healing -- Modeling of Self Healing of Skin Tissue -- Numerical Modelling of Self Healing Mechanisms.
This book, the first in this new field of materials science, aims to present a coherent picture of the design principles and resulting properties of self healing materials over all material classes, and to offset them to the current design principles for structural materials with improved mechanical properties. Where appropriate a comparison to natural materials is made. As such it will be a landmark and a reference work in the coming years. The book consists of a number of invited contributions from leading experts in the field. While each chapter describes a separate approach or a different aspect of self healing materials, the common structure of each chapter creates a coherent and consistent picture of this emerging and challenging field. Hence the book is not only a valuable asset for professional materials scientists but it is also suitable as a text book for courses at MSc level.
