Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Nanomanufacturing covers recent developments in the field of self-healing materials and establishes a platform for collecting and exchanging research results to expand and improve the field. The Special Issue will include manuscripts on the following areas: cementitious, polymeric, ceramic, metal, and composite materials. In addition, there will be a discussion on historical issues such as Roman concrete, including research efforts in the field. Coatings with self-healing ability for applications in the transport industry will be discussed, including developments in self-detection, as well as intelligent nano-containers. Advances in modeling self-healing phenomena will highlight the efforts undertaken to understand self-healing processes. Scaling and commercialization applications will also be included in this issue to showcase the developments in the industry. Moreover, new developments in self-healing chemistry (e.g., supramolecular polymer chemistry) and innovations (e. g., self-healing of batteries) are outlined within the issue, which will conclude by remarking on the prospects of the technology discussed.
Prof. Dr. George Kordas
Guest Editor
