Self-healing materials represent a fascinating frontier in material science, inspired by natural systems that can repair damage without external intervention. These innovative materials have the potential to revolutionize various industries by extending the lifespan and reliability of products, reducing maintenance costs, and even enabling entirely new applications. The concept draws inspiration from biological systems like human skin, which can heal cuts and wounds over time. At their core, self-healing materials possess the ability to autonomously repair damage inflicted on them, whether through mechanical stress, wear and tear, or other forms of deterioration. This capability is achieved through ingenious engineering at the molecular or macroscopic level, where the material's structure or chemistry enables it to mend itself when damaged. Applications range from self-healing coatings that protect surfaces from scratches and corrosion, to structural materials in aerospace and automotive industries that can repair cracks and defects, thereby enhancing safety and reliability. The development of these materials involves interdisciplinary research spanning chemistry, materials science, engineering, and even nanotechnology, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in material design. As research and development in self-healing materials progresses, they hold promise not only for enhancing the durability and performance of everyday objects but also for creating more sustainable technologies by reducing waste and extending product life cycles. The journey toward practical and widespread application continues to unfold, offering a glimpse into a future where materials can heal themselves, much like living organisms respond to injury.

In 2006 the Dutch government funded an 8 year and 20 million euro research program on Self Healing Materials. The research was not to be restricted to one material class or one particular healing approach. It was to explore all opportunities to create self healing behavior in engineering and functional materials and to bring the new materials to a level where they could be tested in real life applications. At its launch, the IOP program was the very first integrated multi-material approach to this field in the world. The research was to be conducted at Dutch universities working in collaboration with industry. With the IOP Self Healing Materials program coming to an end, this book presents the highlights of the pioneering research in the field of self healing materials in the Netherlands. Given the diversity of topics addressed, the book will be of value to all materials scientists working in the field of materials and materials by design in particular, as well as industrial engineers and developers with an interest in increasing the reliability and reducing the maintenance of their products. The book will also be an inspiration to students and show them how an unspecified concept of self healing can be translated to new materials with exceptional behavior.

Discover the happiness benefits of putting brush to paper with a guide that puts judgment aside and “encourages simple enjoyment of painting” (Library Journal). Meditative, peaceful, and calming, watercolour painting offers a sense of control and self-worth to everyone, with no judgment or goal beyond the joy of painting itself. This book shows you how to calm and enhance your outlook through the movement of brush on paper. Master artist Jean Haines leads you through the journey, putting the emphasis on the joy of play rather than on pressure to perform or produce—and showing you how to wipe away your worries with the soothing, gentle strokes of watercolour paint. “Starting from the premise that everyone can paint, Haines frees readers of the goals and expectations of end results, and encourages simple enjoyment of painting. Open-ended, detailed exercises guide readers through experimenting with paint to gain a sense of control; to relieve stress; to escape; or to be in a better mood. The emotional and psychological properties of color are discussed as are obstacles to creativity and happiness. . . . [a] unique blend of self-care and expression.” —Library Journal
