Polymer composites and self-healing
This cluster of papers focuses on the development and applications of self-healing polymers, including shape memory polymers, composites, and thermoplastic elastomers. The research explores the use of renewable resources, supramolecular interactions, and dynamic covalent bonds to create biodegradable and malleable materials with enhanced properties. Topics also include vitrimers, microencapsulation for healing agents, and the thermal and mechanical behavior of these innovative polymer systems.
Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
