SELF-RESTORABLE MATERIAL

摘要

A self-restorable material which comprises a resin having a hydrazone bond represented by the chemical formula (1) (wherein R is hydrogen or a hydrocarbon group) in the main chain and/or a side chain. The self-restorable material has no limitation in its self-restorability and exerts the self-restorability even in an ordinary-pressure room-temperature air without the need of a specific external factor such as heating. Furthermore, various properties or functions can be imparted to the material at will. The material is extremely useful in material applications where self-restorability is required.
