This review is dedicated to self-healing silicone materials, which can partially or entirely restore their original characteristics after mechanical or electrical damage is caused to them, such as formed (micro)cracks, scratches, and cuts. The concept of self-healing materials originated from biomaterials (living tissues) capable of self-healing and regeneration of their functions (plants, human skin and bones, etc.). Silicones are ones of the most promising polymer matrixes to create self-healing materials. Self-healing silicones allow an increase of the service life and durability of materials and devices based on them. In this review, we provide a critical analysis of the current existing types of self-healing silicone materials and their functional properties, which can be used in biomedicine, optoelectronics, nanotechnology, additive manufacturing, soft robotics, skin-inspired electronics, protection of surfaces, etc.
本综述致力于自修复有机硅材料，这类材料在受到机械或电损伤（如形成（微）裂纹、划痕和切口）后，能够部分或完全恢复其原始特性。自修复材料的概念源于能够自我修复并恢复其功能的生物材料（活组织）（植物、人体皮肤和骨骼等）。有机硅是制造自修复材料最有前景的聚合物基体之一。自修复有机硅能够延长基于它们的材料和器件的使用寿命和耐久性。在本综述中，我们对目前现有的自修复有机硅材料类型及其功能特性进行了批判性分析，这些材料可用于生物医学、光电子学、纳米技术、增材制造、软机器人技术、仿生皮肤电子学、表面防护等领域。
