Self-healing Materials : Innovative Materials for Terrestrial and Space Applications.

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-he...
