Coope, T. (author), Bond, I. (author), Trask, R. (author), Wass, D. (author)High performance, damage tolerant fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials are currently required to demonstrate no propagation of any sub-surface structural micro-cracking when under service load, thereby encouraging overdesign and limiting the inherent lightweight nature of such a material. By incorporating selfhealing...conference paper 2013

Everitt, D.T. (author), Coope, T.S. (author), Bond, I.P. (author), Trask, R.S. (author), Wass, D.F. (author)Self-healing polymers typically feature monomer and catalyst either dispersed within a host matrix, or encapsulated within hollow vessels. Unprotected highly active catalysts, sensitive to air and moisture, can readily react with amine cross-linking agents during the cure of reactive prepolymers e.g. epoxy resins. Therefore, catalysts stable to...conference paper 2013
