Abstract
Drawing inspiration from living organisms, inorganic self-healing substrates are the smart materials to revolutionize our world in the next decades. These smart substrates inherit the ability to detect damage and autonomously or non-autonomously heal and restore to its pristine state. The consequence of self-healing offers new route towards sustainable, safer and long lasting materials for multifunctional applications, such as: medicine, energy, construction, food packaging, water treatment and textiles. This chapter explores the preparation of the self-healing substrates from inorganic substrates such as polymers, ceramics and metals; including their healing chemistries and envisioned applications.
