Healable Polymer Systems
Bu e-kitap hakkında
The book covers the different techniques developed successfully to date for both autonomous healable materials (those which do not require an external stimulus to promote healing) and rehealable or remendable materials (those which only recover their original physical properties if a specific stimulus is applied). These include the encapsulated-monomer approach, reversible covalent bond formation, irreversible covalent bond formation and supramolecular self-assembly providing detailed insights into their chemistry.
Written by leading experts, the book provides polymer scientists with a compact and readily accessible source of reference for healable polymer systems.

Wayne Hayes is a Reader in Polymer Chemistry at the University of Reading, UK. He graduated with a PhD from the University of Birmingham under the supervision of Professor J.F. Stoddart (1996). This was followed by a post-doctoral fellowship with Professor J.M.J. Frechet, Cornell University and then University of California, Berkeley, USA before returning to the UK to undertake a Lectureship at Nottingham Trent University and then one at the University of Reading (1999). His main research interests are to generate novel polymeric materials using either state-of-the-art synthetic chemistry methods or molecular recognition phenomena.
