Journal ArticleDOI
A review of shape memory alloy research, applications and opportunities
TL;DR: Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are a class of shape memory materials (SMMs) which have the ability to "memorise" or retain their previous form when subjected to certain stimulus such as thermomechanical or magnetic variations.

TL;DR: This work presents metallosupramolecular polymers that can be mended through exposure to light, which consist of telechelic, rubbery, low-molecular-mass polymers with ligand end groups that are non-covalently linked through metal-ion binding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimuli-responsive supramolecular polymeric materials.
TL;DR: This critical review of recent developments in supramolecular polymeric materials is addressed, which can respond to appropriate external stimuli at the fundamental level due to the existence of noncovalent interactions of the building blocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using the dynamic bond to access macroscopically responsive structurally dynamic polymers
TL;DR: The emergence of a new trend in the design of adaptive materials that involves the use of reversible chemistry to programme a response that originates at the most fundamental (molecular) level is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-healing polymers and composites
TL;DR: A survey of self-healing polymers can be found in this article, where the authors review the major successful autonomic repairing mechanisms developed over the last decade and discuss several issues related to transferring these selfhealing technologies from the laboratory to real applications, such as virgin polymer property changes as a result of the added healing functionality.

TL;DR: A structural polymeric material with the ability to autonomically heal cracks is reported, which incorporates a microencapsulated healing agent that is released upon crack intrusion and polymerization of the healing agent is triggered by contact with an embedded catalyst, bonding the crack faces.

Self-healing and thermoreversible rubber from supramolecular assembly
TL;DR: The design and synthesis of molecules that associate together to form both chains and cross-links via hydrogen bonds and the system shows recoverable extensibility up to several hundred per cent and little creep under load are designed and synthesized.

TL;DR: 2-ureido-4-pyrimidone that dimerize strongly in a self-complementary array of four cooperative hydrogen bonds were used as the associating end group in reversible self-assembling polymer systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-healing materials with microvascular networks
TL;DR: A self-healing system capable of autonomously repairing repeated damage events via a three-dimensional microvascular network embedded in the substrate is reported, opening new avenues for continuous delivery of healing agents for self-repair as well as other active species for additional functionality.
