Organosilicon polymers (silicones) are an important part of material chemistry and a well-established commercial product segment with a wide range of applications. Silicones are of enduring interest due to their unique properties and utility. Recently, new application areas for silicone-based materials have emerged, such as stretchable electronics, wearable stress sensors, smart coatings, and soft robotics. For this reason, research interest over the past decade has been directed towards new methods of crosslinking and increasing the mechanical strength of polyorganosiloxanes. The introduction of self-healing mechanisms may be a promising alternative for such high-value materials. This approach has gained both growing research interest and a rapidly expanding range of applications. Inherent extrinsic and intrinsic self-healing methods have been used in the self-healing of silicones and have resulted in significant advances in polymer composites and coatings, including multicomponent systems. In this review, we present a summary of research work dedicated to the synthesis and applications of self-healing hybrid materials containing polysiloxane segments, with a focus on antimicrobial and antifouling coatings.
有机硅聚合物（硅氧烷）是材料化学的重要组成部分，也是一个成熟的商业产品领域，具有广泛的应用。由于其独特的性能和用途，硅氧烷一直备受关注。近年来，基于硅氧烷的材料出现了新的应用领域，如可拉伸电子器件、可穿戴应力传感器、智能涂层和软体机器人。因此，在过去十年中，研究兴趣一直集中在聚有机硅氧烷的交联新方法和提高其机械强度上。引入自修复机制可能是这类高价值材料的一个有前途的替代方案。这种方法不仅引起了越来越多的研究兴趣，而且应用范围也在迅速扩大。固有外在和内在自修复方法已被用于硅氧烷的自修复，并在聚合物复合材料和涂层（包括多组分体系）方面取得了重大进展。在这篇综述中，我们总结了致力于含聚硅氧烷链段的自修复杂化材料的合成及应用的研究工作，重点关注抗菌和防污涂层。
