Abstract
Self-healing in nature is an outstanding phenomenon. The survival of animals, plants, and human beings is easier because of their ability to recover any damage to the living organs. A review of recent advances pertinent to the self-healing performance of materials and co-electrospinning is presented in this study. Self-healing agents produced by electrospinning are one of the most promising materials for self-healing and exhibit a growing trend for a wide range of applications. The current study aims to report contributions and advances relating to the self-healing performance of materials by using co-electrospinning and the ability of nanofibers to self-heal from damage. It provides an eyesight for further progress of this promising technology. This review comprises investigations in which the self-healing nanofibers produced via the co-electrospinning process and their applications in some industries are focused. The corrosion protection of metals and damage repair in composites are addressed as well.
