Susa, A. (author), Bose, R.K. (author), Grande, A.M. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author), Garcia, Santiago J. (author)Traditional polyetherimides (PEIs) are commonly synthesized from an aromatic diamine and an aromatic dianhydride (e.g., 3,4′-oxidianiline (ODA) and 4,4′-oxidiphtalic anhydride (ODPA)) leading to the imide linkage and outstanding chemical, thermal and mechanical properties yet lacking any self-healing functionality. In this work, we have replaced...journal article 2016

Post, W. (author), Bose, R.K. (author), Garcia, Santiago J. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author)This work reports on the healing of early stage fatigue damage in ionomer/nano-particulate composites. A series of poly(ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) zinc ionomer/Fe3O4 nanoparticle composites with varying amounts of ionic clusters were developed and subjected to different levels of fatigue loading. The initiated damage was healed upon localized...journal article 2016
