A self-healing polymer composition includes a polymer backbone having at least one amine terminated end group. The polymer backbone is selected from the group consisting of a polymerized siloxane and an aliphatic polyether and preferably polydimethylsiloxane. A cross-linker is selected from the group consisting of a 1, 3, 5-triarylbenzene, a triaryl-amine and 2, 4, 6-trichloro-1, 3, 5-benzenetricarbaldehyde, and preferably is 1, 3, 5-tris-(4-formylphenyl) benzene.
