“…The self-determination theory of Deci and Ryan (2000) is founded on the principles of perseverance, which aid organizations in promoting individuals who continuously enhance processes, services, and products for a wide variety of stakeholders. The most pertinent existing applications of this theory pertain to eco-innovation (Arranz et al, 2020;Fernando and Wah, 2017); new product development (Malek et al, 2020;Cooper, 2019;Kalish et al, 2018); and cleaner production (Leong et al, 2021;Haines-Gadd et al, 2021). According to this view, self-motivation among organizational members is the most important aspect of business sustainability.…”

The primary purpose of this paper is to illustrate the significance of several underlying theories of organizational sustainability from a motivational perspective. This paper adopts three theories from three distinct perspectives, including the institutional or organizational perspective, the employee perspective, and the stakeholder perspective, to construct and develop strong relationships among different variables to form a research framework connecting these three perspectives with organizational sustainability. The study then suggested a conceptual model for organizational sustainability based on three theories: the institutional theory (IT), the ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO) theory, and the stakeholder theory (ST). Several theoretical perspectives of organizational sustainability, including IT, AMO theory, and ST perspectives of sustainability concerns, were used to explore and determine the motivational viewpoint of these theories. This study began with a review of multiple studies and an analysis of the numerous ideas driving organizational sustainability. After that, the examined studies were appraised for their evidence and inadequacies. This paper included environmental, social, and economic aspects in one comprehensive review and focused on recent studies based on IT, AMO theory, and ST from a motivational perspective. Previous organizational sustainability reviews of several theories in different sectors or industries were primarily based on resource base view theory, resource dependency theory, social exchange theory, dynamic capability theory, and so on. This study examined current changes in IT, AMO theory, and ST theory from a motivational viewpoint. Additionally, the development of organizational sustainability in the industrial arena was addressed. This paper may be used as a guide for different stakeholders, especially practitioners and policymakers so that they can set up their strategies, action plans, and policies in a way that will ensure the sustainability of their organizations.

“…Self-healing is known for living organisms and plays a great role in preservation of life as well as its prolongation [15]. Inspired by nature, researchers have come up with the idea of self-healing materials to extend the lifetime of synthetic materials that are susceptible to damage, and at the same time reduce the environmental impact of synthetic materials [16][17][18]. Self-healing materials are material systems or substances that can partially or completely recover from mechanical damage and regain their original properties.…”

Self-regenerating, polymer-based textiles emulate living organisms’ ability to heal broken skin and other lesser injuries. To achieve this effect, either intrinsic or extrinsic methods of having polymeric compounds mend these damages can be employed. Depending on the method used, the handling and results of the self-regenerating effect differ. This allows for different areas of application. The focus of this paper is to discuss some of these potential textile applications as well as related research and developments in the area of self-healing materials.

“…Amano et al [108] evaluated the advantage of composite strength to weight ratio to manufacture medium size wind blades. They observed that inclusion of self-healing materials avoided propagation of cracks and healed them, consequently reducing the maintenance costs [109] increasing such development. [110,111] They tested the structure with the imprinted vascular network which managed the healing agent diffusion that resulted in recovery of blade flexural strength by 200% and reduction in the catalyst amount needed for the repairing process.…”

A review on self‐healing polymers and polymer composites for structural applications

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Polymer composites when employed for structural applications undergo dynamic stresses and strains that initiate fatigue‐induced microcracks, which by their coalescence cause the failure of the materials, thus limiting their service life. To overcome this hurdle, one of the recent approaches relies on the development of smart self‐healing polymers that, analogously to biological systems, can use damage as a trigger to activate the self‐repair phenomenon, thus extending their service life. This work reviews the self‐healing approach in polymer‐based materials for structural applications. It focuses on three main aspects, which are also explained with schematics that illustrate the mechanisms involved. The first aspect describes the different strategies adopted for self‐healing polymeric structures, the self‐healing agents used, as well as the reactions responsible for repairing the damage. The second part is focused on the methods used to disperse the self‐healing agents and catalysts within the polymer systems. The third section details the different self‐healing mechanisms and the effectiveness of self‐healing approaches in terms of mechanical and dynamical‐mechanical behavior of materials. Challenges and future research outlook highlighting the importance of relaxation time and fatigue characterization and to understand the mechanisms and possible improvements are also presented.
