This document discusses self-healing materials, which mimic biological systems to autonomously detect and repair damage without human intervention. Key methods include microsphere embedment and 3D micro-vascular networks to distribute healing agents for continuous self-repair, with potential applications in various fields like aerospace and medical devices. However, challenges such as manufacturing complexity and limited strength recovery necessitate further research before practical implementations can occur.
