This book gives an overview of the existing self-healing
nanotextured vascular approaches. It describes the healing agents
used in engineering self-healing materials as well as the
fundamental physicochemical phenomena accompanying self-healing.
This book also addresses the different fabrication methods used to
form core-shell nanofiber mats. The fundamental theoretical aspects
of fracture mechanics are outlined. A brief theoretical description
of cracks in brittle elastic materials is given and the Griffith
approach is introduced. The fracture toughness is described,
including viscoelastic effects. Critical (catastrophic) and
subcritical (fatigue) cracks and their growth are also described
theoretically. The adhesion and cohesion energies are introduced as
well, and the theory of the blister test for the two limiting cases
of stiff and soft materials is developed. In addition, the effect
of non-self-healing nanofiber mats on the toughening of ply
surfaces in composites is discussed. The book also presents a brief
description of the electrochemical theory of corrosion crack
growth. All the above-mentioned phenomena are relevant in the
context of self-healing materials.
