This review will present a comprehensive view of the field of self healing materials based on nano materials. This is an emerging and fascinating area of research that could significantly extend the working life and safety of the polymeric components for a broad range of applications. This paper discusses how hollow fibers and nanocapsules rupture and cooperate in self healing of composite. Finally, current trends and potential future directions are highlighted.
