A Literature Review on the Extensive Study of Multi-functional Self-healing Polymer Composites (SHPC)

Catastrophic Failure of engineering materials is due to many reasons that may be because of wear, creep, and the surrounding conditions. New methods are to be explored to make the systems safer and reliable to avoid these problems. To this end, self-healing materials inspired by natural biological organisms that can restore damage are increasingly involved in recent years both in the areas of science and in Industrial
usage, due to their success rate in the recent years. Self-healing Polymer Composites SHPC found possible applications in shape memory, self-healing, self-heating, selfcleaning and energy harvesting. In this paper the present state of the art in the field of self-healing technology and the basic chemical processes effectively implemented in the production of organic materials for self-healing is explored with their morphological
structures.
