Abstract
Bioinspired self‐healing polymers have attracted more and more interests. Imparting self‐healing ability to existing polymers or developing new polymeric materials capable of self‐healing is considered to be a solution for improving their long term stability and durability. This article reviews achievements in the field of theoretical researches on re‐establishment of bonding between broken surfaces of self‐healing polymers from microscopic and macroscopic point of view. Chains interaction, mechanical models related to healing procedures and effect of healing, design of novel self‐healing composite systems, and so forth are summarized and analyzed in detail. Both thermoplastics and thermosets are included to offer a comprehensive knowledge framework of the smart function. The scientific challenges are also highlighted, which are related to the production of more advanced self‐healing polymers. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys, 2011
