| Summary |
The book reviews the concept of the self-healing processes, starting with their occurrence in nature, for example in plants, human skin and so on, and leading to the most recent scientific discoveries and industrial applications. . It includes a description and explanation of a wide range of self-healing materials such as composites, polymers, anticorrosive smart paints, and coatings. Particular emphasis is given to the applications in the space environment, which is characterised mainly by vacuum, high thermal gradients, mechanical vibrations, and cosmic radiation. .
