SPP 1568 (BI1337/8-1) Design and Generic Principles of Self-healing Materials/ Combined supramolecular and covalent self-healing polymers

The current project will address the generation of a self-healing system by combination of two principles of self-healing via encapsulation principles, thus generating self-healing polymers with more than one self-healing-cycle . Capsules filled with either a multivalent azide/alkyne-polymer will form the "one-healing-cycle" system, whereas a second (supramolecular) healing system will form the basis for multiple healing cycles within the material.
