Abstract
Self-healing materials are anticipated to be attractive candidates for wide applications. The most important feature of self-healing materials is to activate the chemical reaction in use. Therefore, self-healing materials cannot be exhibit large advantage compared to ordinary materials without materials design to select adequate chemical reaction for the service condition. Furthermore, the present author proposes the selection of the adequate chemical reaction by considering the life time of the application. Especially for the short life time component, the self-healing function should compose the degradation reaction. In the present study, the first attempt to develop the advanced self-healing ceramics for short life time application will be introduced.
