Article Abstract
The search for suitable strategies to manufacture self-healable nitrile rubber (NBR) composites is the most promising part in the industrial field of polar rubber research. In recent years, some important strategies, specifically, metal-ligand coordination bond formation, ionic bond formation, and dynamic hydrogen bond formation, have been utilized to develop duly self-healable NBR composites. This paper reviews the continuous advancement in the research field related to self-healable NBR composites by considering healing strategies and healing conditions. Special attention is given to understand the healing mechanism in reversibly cross-linked NBR systems. The healing efficiency of a cross-linked NBR network is usually dependent on the definite interaction between functional groups of NBR and a cross-linking agent. Finally, the results obtained from successful studies suggest that self-healing technology has incredible potential to increase the sustainability and lifetime of NBR-based rubber products.
