Nanomaterials for Self-Healing Hydrogels

Materials with self-healing property are considered as the smart materials for various advanced technological applications. Previously only living substances such tissues were thought to have properties that required their survival and adaptation environmental changes. Recently, novel synthetic hydrogels been prepared developed which demonstrated performances. Exceptional has observed in introducing different kinds of nanoparticles. These exceptional functionality mechanical properties. The techniques introduction, exploration, measurement related challenging due wide variety substances. In this chapter, efforts made discuss mechanism, types, drawbacks nanomaterial-modified hydrogels.
