Self-healing polymers are a class of smart materials capable of automatically repairing damage—such as cracks or scratches—without external intervention or manual repair. This process mimics biological healing mechanisms and can be triggered by heat, light, moisture, or through chemical reactions at the damage site. Self-healing can occur through intrinsic mechanisms (where the polymer matrix itself reforms bonds) or extrinsic mechanisms (using microcapsules or vascular networks embedded in the material that release healing agents upon damage). These materials are used to extend the service life and reliability of products in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and biomedical devices.

Self-healing polymers are smart materials engineered to repair physical damage such as cracks or microfractures without human intervention, restoring functionality and prolonging service life. They operate via intrinsic mechanisms—where reversible bonds within the polymer matrix reform—or extrinsic systems, where encapsulated healing agents are released upon damage. Key performance parameters include healing efficiency (often measured as a percentage of recovered mechanical strength), healing time, reusability, activation triggers (e.g., heat, light, moisture, mechanical force), and mechanical stability before and after healing. These polymers may be thermoplastic, thermoset, elastomeric, or hydrogel-based, and can be tailored for single-use or multiple healing cycles. Applications span aerospace, automotive, electronics, coatings, and biomedical devices where durability and reliability are critical.
