This report gives an in-depth third-party assessment of the technological and commercial progress of self-healing materials. Coverage of 20+ application areas including consideration of technology readiness level (TRL) is given. IDTechEx provides technological analysis, identifies growth opportunities and potential pain points, and offers an independent outlook for the commercialization of self-healing materials.
The demand for materials that can recover from damage continues to grow hand-in-hand with global industrialization, across a range of sectors. Self-healing materials, which have the ability to repair physical damage, represent an opportunity for disruptive innovation in terms of how materials are designed when the longevity and reliability of materials are considered. The self-healing materials market could be set for exponential growth, with an almost boundless total addressable market. This report provides a comprehensive analysis of current market trends, key players, and emerging applications, offering actionable insights for stakeholders looking to capitalize on this transformative technology.
Self-Healing Materials
The majority of solid materials can experience self-healing in one form or another, particularly through creep, or material flow, over long periods of time. While biological entities also readily self-heal, this report covers inanimate materials that will heal damage, either due to inherent properties or specific design.
The degree of autonomy with which materials self-heal is of critical importance when discussing this topic. One of the major cost savings associated with self-healing materials is the reduction in losses deriving from maintenance and system downtimes. Autonomous self-healing occurs when the healing is activated directly by the damage event, and various approaches are discussed in the report including microcapsules, vascular systems and embedded bacteria. Non-autonomous healing is activated by an external trigger such as human influence or ambient conditions such as heat, light, or magnetic field. Optimizing non-autonomous healing approaches to activate with readily available, ambient conditions is one of the key hurdles to overcome in the commercialization of self-healing materials. This pain point, and others, are detailed in the market report.
Segmentation of self-healing mechanisms by degree of autonomy
Self-Healing Mechanisms
There are three primary methods by which physical self-healing occurs: extrinsic microcapsules, extrinsic vascular networks and intrinsic. The healing mechanisms, material considerations and trade-offs of each method are detailed in the report.
In the microcapsules approach, capsules are embedded in the host material, and ruptured by the damage event, releasing reactive material into the crack. The following reaction can be triggered by exposure to air, moisture, carbon dioxide or by the combination of two separate components that are held in various capsules. The reaction will form a material to fill the crack. The vascular approach is similar to that seen for microcapsules. A vascular network is embedded in the host material, capable of supplying reactants to the damage event site to form a new material to fill the crack. Hybrid approaches are emerging, using both extrinsic methodologies to self-healing.
Intrinsic self-healing leverages a certain property of the host material leading to healing of the damage, such as polymer creep into the damage site. This category can be extended to include non-automatic forms that require an external trigger such as applying heat, electric current, or UV light. Many mechanisms for intrinsic self-healing are covered in this research report, including the repair of damage via hydrogen bonding, thermally reversible reactions, the use of ionomeric materials or molecular diffusion/entanglement.
