An innovative synergy between solution electrospinning process technique and self-healing of materials. A critical review
An overview of recent advances related to self-healing (SH) of materials and solution electrospinning (SEP) is provided. SH agents (SHAs) in electrospun form seems to be one of the most promising approaches for SH and exhibit an increasing trend for a wide range of applications. The aim of the current review paper is to report contributions and advances related to SH of materials by using SHAs in electrospun form and provide insights for further improvement of this promising technology. More specifically, this paper contains investigations in which the SHAs or the SHA containers were exclusively prepared by SEP.
