Many studies have demonstrated that intrinsic self‐healing polyelectrolyte coatings can be fabricated by exponentially growing Layer‐by‐Layer (LbL) assembled polyelectrolyte multilayers. However, due to the lack of controlled self‐healing evaluation methods, the researches on self‐healing properties...
