  Self-Healing Polymer Composites for Pharmaceutical Packaging Applications

  By Karanje P.S., L.D. Mangate, Prasanna Kattimani, Shailly Gupta

  Abstract: Pharmaceutical packaging plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety, stability, and effectiveness of pharmaceutical products. Conventional polymer-based packaging materials are prone to mechanical damage, microcracks, and environmental degradation, which can compromise drug integrity. Self-healing polymer composites (SHPCs) offer a promising solution by enabling autonomous or stimuli-responsive repair mechanisms that restore packaging integrity, enhance durability, and extend product shelf life. These materials function through intrinsic mechanisms, such as dynamic covalent …
