Hi Altruists. I wish to study my doctoral program in SHT( self healing technology). I would like to know any research gap for the development for self healing polymer composites. I have ambition to make this technology as a real application point of view..Not just study...want to develop something new innovative material. Therefore i'm kindly requesting to all the researchers who are working this area please provide me some details and journals about the current development and if possible some research gaps..
I will be grateful to everyone
Thanking you
Linto George Thomas
The combination of self-healing approach with other approaches like self-sensing and shape memory might provide new solutions. in addition, currently self-healing materials have low performance in terms of application at different temperature, pressure, light etc which you can consider to improve/innovate
To find desirable "gap" in field of intelligent materials including self-healing polymer composites, you can see
the monography Smart Materials Taxonomy / CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, 2015. – 277 p. by Goldade V., et al. and paper Guimard N.K., et al. Current Trends in the Field of Self-Healing Materials // Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics 213 (2) 2012: pp. 131 –143.
Good luck!
