This review focuses on recent progress of self-healing polymer hydrogel. The strategies targeting self-healing polymer hydrogel
the self-healing contributions from different types of polymers
the self-healing degree of hydrogel and its verification methods were analyzed and compared. Overall
both in the molecular design of self-healing polymer and in the healing mechanism of hydrogels
new and important progress has been achieved. However
the polymer hydrogel’s self-healing ability need to be further improved. The design of novel polymer
the improvement in the fabrication method of hydrogel and the enhancement in self-healing efficiency will have a significant impact on the further application of self-healing polymer hydrogel.
