Self-healing polymers : from principles to applications / edited by Wolfgang H. Binder. [electronic resource] Binder, Wolfgang (Wolfgang H.) Polymerization. Polymers. Self-assembly (Chemistry) QD381.8 .B384 2013eb 547.7 22 Includes bibliographical references and index. Print version record. This self-contained reference, written by a team of renowned international authors adopt a didactical approach to systematically cover all important aspects of designing self-healing polymers from concepts to applications - transferring lessons learnt from nature to materials science. It is the first to discuss the chemical and physical concepts for self-healing polymers, including aspects of biomimetic processes of healing in nature and tissue regeneration. Chapters will cover the design of self-healing polymers and explain the dynamics in these systems.
