The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Cracks, microcracks and fracture in polymer structures: Formation, detection, autonomic repair (2016, background): “Ionomeric copolymers have also demonstrated self-healing capability through forming reversible cross-links that can be activated by external stimuli such as heat or UV[199-202].”
Shape memory polymers for composites (2018, background): “Generally, self-healing is based on a reversible physical effect, that is, expansion occurring near a crack, or on reversible bonds, including reversible covalent bonds [155,156], ionic bonds [157], metal coordinate bonds [158,159] and supramolecular interactions [160,161].”
