George Wypych has a Ph.D. in chemical engineering. His professional expertise includes both university teaching (full professor) and research and development. He has published 18 books, 47 scientific papers, and he has obtained 16 patents. He specializes in polymer additives, polymer processing and formulation, material durability and the development of sealants and coatings.
"I would strongly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in this growing field of self-healing materials. The chapters are brief, the references are excellent, though there are no problem sets. I found myself looking up several references that claimed my interest, and I credit the book with giving a clear and thorough overview of the field. Accordingly, readers should not expect details, but rather guidance toward future reading." --MRS Bulletin
