Multi-stage polymer systems for the autonomic regeneration of large damage volumes
Recovery of catastrophic damage requires a robust chemistry capable of addressing the complex challenges encountered by autonomic regeneration. Although self-healing polymers have the potential to increase material lifetimes and safety, these systems have been limited to recovery of internal …

Microvascular strategies for damage restoration
… for mass transport of liquid healing agents to damage regions that intersect the vasculature. Microvascular self-healing has proven effective in restoring fracture toughness and modulus by re-bonding the surfaces of damage-induced microcracks; however, large damage volumes (crack separations > …

Mechanical characterization and self-healing in synthetic vascularized materials
… that mechanically recover from structural damage autonomously. One strategy for creating self-healing materials is to distribute reactive fluids throughout the material volume using a microvascular network of microchannels that serve as conduits of flow and permit fluid transport throughout …
