▎ 摘　　要

Recently, self-healing polymeric materials has garnered much attention due to their ability to prolong materials shelf-life. Graphene, as a formidable nanoparticle, has garnered great interests due to accruable superior properties in polymer nanocomposites (PNC). Application of organic coatings is the most available, and cost-efficient technique of enhancing the shelf-life of metallic structures. Shape memory polymeric materials are capable of being deformed, and arranged into a temporary shape, while also recovering their original configuration on exposure to external stimulation. Hence, the advent of self-repairing graphene PNC, coatings, and polymeric shape memory materials has enlarged the applications scope of these materials.
