Self-Healing Materials explores the innovative science behind materials that can automatically repair damage, focusing on revolutionary applications within aviation and aerospace engineering.
The book discusses how nanotechnology is enabling lighter, more fuel-efficient aircraft using composite materials.
These materials, while advantageous, are prone to specific damages like micro-cracking.
Understanding self-healing mechanisms, such as microencapsulation and vascular networks, is crucial for extending aircraft service life and minimizing failures.
The book traces the evolution of materials science, from traditional alloys to advanced composites and self-healing polymers.
It begins with fundamental concepts and progresses to detailed explanations of self-healing mechanisms and their specific applications in aviation, including self-healing coatings and adhesives.
The book argues that integrating self-healing materials into aircraft structures is a paradigm shift, potentially reducing downtime and improving safety.
