- Abstract:
- Starting with reversible polymer networks based on the Diels–Alder
reaction of furan and maleimide, a large variety of different self-healing polymers
based on reversible covalent interactions have been developed in the last decade.
These intrinsic self-healing polymers are mainly based on reversible addition
reactions, exchange reactions, and condensations. The most prominent examples
of such materials are based on Diels–Alder chemistry, photocycloadditions, disul-
fide reactions, acylhydrazones, and reversible radical reactions.
