Chemical modification of electrospun yttrium silicate fiber with self-healing properties

An innovative synergy between solution electrospinning process technique and self‐healing of materials. A critical review

“…Based on these, SH capability of these structures is high desirable. The current section reviews investigations in which fibrous structures are encased into a polymeric material [ 50‐56 ] to fabricate a SH composite coating structure or not, [ 57‐66 ] as the fabricated structure represent a coating itself.…”

“…The release of the cerium from the damaged PVA coating has also been demonstrated by means of inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy. Li et al, [ 60 ] successfully prepared porous yttrium silicate (YOS) fibers modified with titanium silicide (TiSi 2 ) by high‐temperature calcination. According to experimental results, fibers containing 15% TiSi 2 exhibited the best porous SH behaviour when calcined at 1673 °K.…”

“…Table 2 provides all the information that are related to works conducted toward SH of coating/film structures (Section 4). Based on works [ 50‐66 ] provided above, it was shown that for most of them the damage was performed by scratch, [ 50‐51,53‐56 ] cut by a razor [ 52,62 ] and tensile tests [ 58‐59 ] while the healing capability was evaluated by optical [ 51,53‐54,56,60 ] and electrochemical [ 50,52,55,62,66 ] methods.…”
