Abstract: Diels-Alder reactions (DA reactions) using furans as a diene and maleimides as a dienophile are one of the most important DA reactions being used in self-healing polymer composites. Six types of DA polymerization and copolymerization from furan derivatives and maleimide derivatives including linear, branched and crosslinked reactions as well as the DA reactions of polymers containing both furan derivatives and maleimide derivatives in main chain or side chain were summarized. The progress in the applications of furans/maleimides DA reactions to self-healing both bulk and interphase of polymer composites including microcapsules, hollow glass fibers and microvascular network techniques and interfaces of polymer/fiber, polymer/silica, polymer/layered silicates and polymer/grapheme were reviewed.

Key words: polymer composites, self-healing, Diels-Alder reactions, furans, maleimides
