Self-healing polymers and polymer composites / Ming Qiu Zhang, Min Zhi Rong. [electronic resource] Zhang, Ming Qiu. Rong, Min Zhi. Wiley InterScience (Online service) Polymeric composites. Self-healing materials. TA455.P58 Z43 2011 547/.7 22 Includes bibliographical references and index. Print version record. "This book covers the fundamentals, theory, design, fabrication, characterization, and application of self-healing polymers and polymer composites. Innovative routes that correlate materials chemistry to the self-healing functionality are summarized for future industrial use. Throughout the book, the authors emphasize integration of existing techniques and / or novel synthetic approaches for target-oriented materials design and fabrication. With this book, experienced readers will gain a comprehensive view of the emerging field, while new researchers will understand the framework for creating new materials or new applications"-- Provided by publisher.
