Abstract

This chapter describes and discusses some of the characterization methods employed to verify the physical and chemical aspects of self-healing on the micro- and nanoscale levels. These methods are used to confirm that the healing agents are encased and released from nanofibers (NFs), spread, reacted, and solidified.
