MindMap Gallery Self repair technology of polymer materials
Self-repair technology is a cutting-edge field in polymer materials, encompassing intrinsic and extrinsic self-healing types. Intrinsic self-healing achieves self-repair functionality through vascular networks or encapsulated healing agents within the material. Extrinsic self-healing relies on external stimuli (such as heat or light) to trigger the application of healing agents. Healing mechanisms include chemical reactions, diffusion, and polymerization. Self-repair technology has broad application prospects in industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and coatings. However, challenges such as improving repair efficiency, reducing costs, and achieving scalable production remain current hurdles and future directions.
