17. The growth of the disintegrated fibers under ambient conditions is regulated by kinetic factors. This regulation was confirmed by heating the reconstituted gel, which shows the formation of fibers comparable in length to those of the original gel in the presence of heat as stimulus.

23. In this work, we have explored self-healing as well as its realtime visualization and regulation in self-assembled fibrous nanomaterials. Self-healing materials have also been realized in polymer composites by utilizing covalent bonding as a tool, see S. R. White, N. R. Sottos, P. H. Geubelle, J. S. Moore, M. R. Kessler, S. R.
