A review of self-healing mechanisms for the application of conductive electronic products.
Review in RSC advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The rapid growth of electronic devices has raised concerns about durability and e-waste. Self-healing materials offer a promising solution by extending device lifespan and reducing maintenance needs. This review examines the use of self-healing materials in conductive electronic systems, focusing on intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms. Extrinsic methods use microcapsules or vascular systems to release healing agents, while intrinsic approaches rely on reversible bonds, such as hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions, and metal coordination, to enable repeatable repair. Applications discussed include strain sensors, energy storage, and flexible electronics. The review highlights how these materials improve reliability in wearable devices, energy harvesters, and wireless systems. Critical factors affecting healing performance, like healing time, environment, and material design, are also analyzed. This review serves as a useful reference for selecting suitable self-healing strategies for next-generation electronic applications.
