De Belie, N. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Gruyaert, E. (author), Van Tittelboom, K. (author), Debbaut, B. (author)Symposium organised by Ghent University, Department of Structural Engineering and Delft University of Technology, Aerospace Structures & Materials. Materials play an extremely important role in our lives. These materials may be of a very different nature ranging from metals over concrete to polymers and composite materials. They all have in...book 2013

Boatemaa, L. (author), Zhou, J. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Sloof, W.G. (author)Structural ceramics like alumina are usually brittle and sensitive to flaws leading to a reduction in their mechanical properties. This situation is worsened by machining prior to service and during service by contact, which introduces micro cracks and hidden damages. Crack damage can easily be developed in such ceramics when loaded, which often...conference paper 2013

Lafont, U. (author), Van Zeijl, H. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author)In this work, we investigate the formation of self-healing systems that are able to recover more than once more than one (mechanical or other physical) functionality. To this aim composites were created consisting of a polysulfide thermoset rubber matrix having intrinsic self-healing properties filled with thermally/electrically conductive...conference paper 2013

Carabat, A.L. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Sloof, W.G. (author)Easy crack propagation in oxide ceramic coatings limits their application in high temperature environment (e.g. such as engines and gas turbine components) [1]. In order to overcome this problem, incorporation of sacrificial particles into an oxide ceramic coating may be a viable option. Particles of silicon compounds, such as: Si3N4, SiC, MoSi2...conference paper 2013

Shen, L. (author), Li, S.B. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Sloof, W.G. (author)The oxidation crack healing of Cr2AlC and Cr2(Al,Si)C was studied and compared with known healing of Ti2AlC. The oxidation induced crack healing of Ti2AlC is relatively fast and leads to full strength recovery, but the oxidation product contains besides ?-Al2O3 also undesired TiO2. However, when oxidizing Cr2AlC only ?-Al2O3 is formed, but full...conference paper 2013

AbdolahZadeh, M. (author), Esteves, A.C.C. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Garcia Espallargas, S.J. (author)Sol-gel technology is increasingly being used in coatings for corrosion protection and adhesion improvement. So far, the self-healing concept in sol-gel coatings has only been approached from extrinsic healing perspective (i.e. use of nano and micro carriers of corrosion inhibitors) [1]. Despite the benefits of this approach, the damaged area...conference paper 2013

Prajer, M. (author), Wu, X. (author), Garcia Espallargas, S.J. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author)Polymers reinforced with high performance fibres are successfully replacing metal alloys in lightweight aircraft structures. A critical factor in structural design is the resistance of a structure to progressive damage which develops during its service time. The brittle nature of matrix cracking is the main source of composite failure initiating...conference paper 2013

Farle, A.M. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Sloof, W.G. (author)The reduction of maintenance and replacement work costs is an important driving force in the development of high temperature materials (T>800 °C) that can autonomously heal damage as a result of local cracks. In recent years some potential routes involving the addition of sacrificial particles have been identified, yet these systems have the...conference paper 2013

Bose, R.K. (author), Garcia Espallargas, S.J. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author)Supramolecular rubbers based on 2-aminoethylimidazolidone and fatty acids with epoxy crosslinks have been shown to self-heal via multiple hydrogen bonding sites. In this work, several tools are used to investigate the molecular mechanisms taking place at the interface to understand cohesive healing in these polymers. The quantification of self...conference paper 2013
