Abstract: Self-healing polymer composites are important aspects of smart materials. Present research status of self-healing polymer composites was elaborated. Self-healing mechanisms, self-healing system characteristic and present research status of several extrinsic thermosetting polymer self-healing composite materials including microcapsule, hollow fiber, microvessel and thermoplastic self-healing are summarized. At last, development direction and application prospect of self-healing polymer composite materials are prospected.
