Conductive polymers are widely employed in aviation

biomedical equipment

chemical biosensor and energy field. However

the conductive polymers will inevitably produce micro-cracks in the course of usage

resulting in destroying conductive path and paralyzing the entire electronic device. The study of conductive self-healing materials

inspired by the self-repair of organism damage

has drawn great research interests. In this review

recent progress in the field of conductive self-healing materials was summarized

and the corresponding self-healing mechanism

preparation method and application were discussed thoroughly

and finally the main problems existing in conductive self-healing materials were briefly analyzed and the development direction was prospected.
