Inspired by natural biological systems, continuous efforts are being made to mimic natural materials and integrate self-healing capabilities into coatings, polymers and polymer composites. Research on self-healing materials and coatings has grown significantly in the last decade, as they attractive for extending asset life and improving safety in response to environmental changes. The need for sustainability use of oil-based materials is of increasing importance and the use of self-healing materials and coatings can greatly increase their lifetime.

Self-healing materials have the ability to autonomously sense and repair damage,  extending product lifetime and provide the basis for long-term reliability. This will this avoid or reduce the costs of repair and greatly improve safety.
