Enabling technologies
Current trend of the technology :

arrow_circle_up Decreasing R&D activity

Material with the ability to automatically heal (recover/repair) damages without any external (human) intervention.

Self-healing materials cover a wide range of materials (polymers, composites, concretes…) and healing mechanisms. A series of products are already commercially available on the market but feedback from the field is still required (bio-concretes, polymers with intrinsic healing) whilst self-healing composites are still in the research phase and require upscaling efforts at the level of the production process.
