14. A well completion method, comprising:
covering at least one base pipe with a non-metallic material, the non-metallic material comprising:
a base polymer; and
a plurality of smart fillers, wherein a first smart filler of the plurality of smart fillers is configured to facilitate swelling of the non-metallic material in response to a wellbore condition, and wherein a second smart filler of the plurality of smart fillers is configured to facilitate stiffening of the non-metallic material in response to the wellbore condition;
compressing the non-metallic material with a mechanical retainer;
running the base pipe to a location in a wellbore;
expanding the non-metallic material;
conforming the non-metallic material to a wall of the wellbore;
stiffening the non-metallic material;
filtering fluids through the non-metallic material to the base pipe;
detaching the non-metallic material from the base pipe; and
lifting the base pipe out of the wellbore.
