Summary

What will enable many human beings to live to 120 years and live healthily for most of that span? A major contributor will consist of humans being rebuilt and treated with self-healing materials. A new report details your opportunities from this. It is 347-page Zhar Research report, "Self-Healing Healthcare Material and Engineered Living Material Markets, Technology: 2025-2045" . It details how even hospital infrastructure and equipment will benefit from the new self-healing materials. Its six chapters present 10 technology SWOT appraisals, 17 forecast lines for 2025-2045. It covers 68 companies and the abundant research through 2025 is analysed to reveal winning trends and formulations. Learn which applications are likely to be large and when. See your most promising potential partners and acquisitions and your emerging competition.

Commercially oriented, balanced

The report identifies a host of opportunities for your materials specialities but is blunt about issues such as toxicity. The authors find that organic self-healing materials, particularly thermopolymers, will dominate 2025-2045 but hydrogels and Engineered Living Materials ELM will take share, so the report's balance reflects such realities.

Quick read, graphic summary

The "Executive summary and conclusions" is sufficient in itself for those with limited time. Its 51 pages include 33 key conclusions, 8 SWOT appraisals and the leading compound families that are trending, with many new infograms. See the roadmap 2025-2045 and all the 17 forecasts 2025-2045 by table and graph plus technology maturity curves for 2025, 2035, 2045. Out-of-date reports are useless for this fast-moving topic, so this one is constantly updated so you only get the latest.

Context

The Introduction (23 pages) explains definitions, choices, market drivers, the trend to self-healing smart materials, long life, reliability, fit-and-forget and rejuvenation. See how biomimetics has much further to go and how we are overcoming the soft material dilemma. Understand the challenges of putting a value on the market. 30 examples of research on self-healing materials in 2025 and earlier are analysed as a taster of what is to come.

Deep examination of your toolkit for self-healing and ELM

Chapter 3. "The self-healing technology toolkit: general" with 104 pages on the self-healing inanimate materials toolkit is brought alive with many other research advances from 2025 and earlier. Inevitably the terminology overlaps somewhat but here you can see why intrinsic self-healing and use of hydrogels, polyurethanes and Diels-Alder materials are very important. However, self-healing vitrimers, ionogels and even metals and ceramics and many others have a place, including self-healing proteins and elastomers. They are discussed in the context of various mechanisms explained. Physical or chemical approaches? The dilemmas are aired including self-healing metrics and cost-performance compromises. Understand important self-healing materials by application likely to be commercialised 2025-2045.

Chapter 4. "Self-healing technology toolkit: Engineered Living Materials ELM" (30 pages) covers self-healing versions and others not yet self-healing. ELM are engineered materials composed of living cells that form or assemble the material itself or modulate the functional performance of the material in some manner. Think enzymes, fungi and even bacteria. Overview, definition, choice of hosts and learning from nature are followed by analysis of the allied topic: assisting human healing by application of biological materials that may or may not be self-healing themselves. There is a close look at ELM features, four stages of ELM creation and deployment and a SWOT appraisal. Grasp the obstacles and the way forward for the various self-healing approaches with biological materials. Bio ELM is compared to hybrid ELM with much relevant research and commercialisation, including the current star turn - fungi - mycelial materials - with advances in 2025. See self-healing mycelial leather, formwork, ELM textiles and even concrete.

Deep study of the toolkit in action 2025-2045, latest research, 68 companies

Chapter 5. "Self-healing material applications in healthcare 2025-2045" at 100 pages is a large chapter complementing the two chapters on the technology toolkit by giving deep insights concerning the technologies in use. An important aspect is artificial human skin and muscle with self-healing materials and ones helping the patient to "self-heal".

More generally, see progress in 2025, technology trend to 2025 including sensory, electronic, biocompatibility, anti-bacterial and anti-fouling aspects comparing hydrogel, polyimine, fluoropolymer, silicone, PVA and other approaches. Understand self-healing with tissue engineering (adhesives, films etc), cell co-culture and organ replacement with objectives and progress in 2025. Scan hydrogels and PDMS in action too, soft robotics, bone repair and replacement. Here are titanium and other implants, membranes by difficulty level. Assessments with 2025 research advances include drug delivery by microcapsules and hydrogels, self-healing healthcare electronics, nanogenerators, optical and photonic materials, implantable and smart patch batteries. The report ends with 22 pages of Chapter 6. "Self-healing company profiles" comparing 62 tabled in six appraisal columns then 14 of them profiled in more detail, other being in earlier text.
