摘要

We are delighted to present this special-themed issue of the Chinese Journal of Polymer Science (CJPS) devoted to the recent advances in self-healing polymeric materials.Self-healing has been recognized as one of the most attractive topics for advanced polymers in the past few years,enabling their reworkability,durability and reliability.Since the emergence of the concept,self-healing polymeric materials have been rapidly evolving and have revolutionized many aspects of polymer sciences.Nowadays,this type of smart materials has found broad prospects for both structural and functional applications including space vehicles,aircrafts,artificial skins,soft robots,energy devices,coatings,and sensors.This special issue consists of 3 feature articles,2 review articles,and 6 regular articles,focusing on the latest research achievements in dynamic networks,self-healing elastomers,supramolecular polymers,hybrid polymers,and so on.
