}Over the last few years, several testing methods have been introduced for the detection and quantification of autonomous and thermally stimulated healing in polymers. This review summarizes some of the most prominent state-of-the-art techniques for the characterization of polymer healing occurring at the microscopic and macroscopic levels during the repair of damage such as scratches, cracks, or ballistic perforations. In addition to phenomenological investigation of the self-healing process, a…
