The multidisciplinary field of autonomic healing materials has provided several different techniques to impart a self-repairing function to polymers and composites. In this review, we have summarized these current research thrusts and discussed several issues related to translating the technology to practical applications, such as virgin polymer property changes as a result of the added healing functionality, healing in thin films vs. bulk polymers, and healing in the presence of structural reinforcements. There are a number of variations in the self-healing systems described above that are beginning to garner significant interest, but have thus far been reported infrequently in the literature and therefore was not discussed in great detail herein [240-248]. Additionally, the burgeoning field of computational modeling of the different healing mechanisms is continually providing insights into ideal polymer and composite design parameters for, among other things, improved scalability and healing capabilities [249-267].
While future endeavors will undoubtedly improve current healing mechanisms towards efficient, fully autonomic, and biomimetic healing materials, as well as yield other approaches to imparting autonomic repair, future research thrusts need to concentrate on
issues related to employing self-healing materials in industrial applications. Several companies are beginning to lead the efforts to market and produce self-healing polymers (such as the company Autonomic Materials, which is developing microcapsule-based self- healing elastomers, thermosets and powder coatings [268], and Arkema Inc., which is currently producing polymers that heal via supramolecular assembly [269]), but several issues that are rarely discussed in the literature, such as economic feasibility and long term ―healability‖ of the different healing mechanisms, need to be addressed before self-healing materials can begin to replace current polymers and composites.
