Abstract

Conventional materials often fail in various ways even from relatively low-impact cyclic forces. In order to combat this phenomenon, smart materials have been developed. They exhibit adaptive capabilities to external stimuli, such as physical, mechanical or chemical changes in their environment. This makes them a topic of immense interest as they have many applications of importance in the scientific field. In order to make advancements of significance in this arena, a better understanding of the fundamentals is required. This overview attempts to summarize the self-healing mechanisms in a wide variety of materials including natural composites, polymers, metals and ceramics.
