Self‐healing is a natural process common to all living organisms which provides increased longevity and the ability to adapt to changes in the environment. Inspired by this fitness‐enhancing ...functionality, which was tuned by billions of years of evolution, scientists and engineers have been incorporating self‐healing capabilities into synthetic materials. By mimicking mechanically triggered chemistry as well as the storage and delivery of liquid reagents, new materials have been developed with extended longevity that are capable of restoring mechanical integrity and additional functions after being damaged. This Review describes the fundamental steps in this new field of science, which combines chemistry, physics, materials science, and mechanical engineering.
On the mend: Evolution has endowed biological organisms with the ability to self‐heal. Inspired by the principles of nature, scientists have been trying to create synthetic materials with self‐healing capabilities that can regenerate their mechanical integrity and specific functions after damage.

Sequential mesotrione applications of 72 g a.i. ha −1 gave similar control of narrow-leaved goldenrod as sequential applications of 144 g a.i. ha −1 . This use pattern is recommended for ...narrow-leaved goldenrod management in lowbush blueberry. Early POST tolpyralate applications exhibited good crop tolerance and could be considered as part of a sequential herbicide program for lowbush blueberry.
Thermoset polymers and composite materials are integral to today's aerospace, automotive, marine and energy industries and will be vital to the next generation of lightweight, energy-efficient ...structures in these enterprises, owing to their excellent specific stiffness and strength, thermal stability and chemical resistance
. The manufacture of high-performance thermoset components requires the monomer to be cured at high temperatures (around 180 °C) for several hours, under a combined external pressure and internal vacuum
. Curing is generally accomplished using large autoclaves or ovens that scale in size with the component. Hence this traditional curing approach is slow, requires a large amount of energy and involves substantial capital investment
. Frontal polymerization is a promising alternative curing strategy, in which a self-propagating exothermic reaction wave transforms liquid monomers to fully cured polymers. We report here the frontal polymerization of a high-performance thermoset polymer that allows the rapid fabrication of parts with microscale features, three-dimensional printed structures and carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer composites. Precise control of the polymerization kinetics at both ambient and elevated temperatures allows stable monomer solutions to transform into fully cured polymers within seconds, reducing energy requirements and cure times by several orders of magnitude compared with conventional oven or autoclave curing approaches. The resulting polymer and composite parts possess similar mechanical properties to those cured conventionally. This curing strategy greatly improves the efficiency of manufacturing of high-performance polymers and composites, and is widely applicable to many industries.
