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

De Vilder, I. (author), Vanneste, M. (author)Self-healing materials have the capabillity to repair (in an early stage) damage, that would finally lead to material failure. This repair or self-healing occurs with the help of a minor external stimulus or autonomously. Depending on the type of application one or the other is more interesting. Nature is the major source of inspiration for his...conference paper 2013

Wiktor, V.A.C. (author), Sangadji, S. (author), Jonkers, H.M. (author), Schlangen, H.E.J.G. (author)Bacterially induced calcium carbonate precipitation has received considerable attention for its potential application in enforcing or repairing construction material. The mechanism of bacterially mediated calcite precipitation in those studies is primarily based on the enzymatic hydrolysis of urea. Besides calcite precipitation, this reaction...conference paper 2013

Pauli, A. (author), Schmets, A.J.M. (author), Kasbergen, C. (author), Varveri, K. (author), Scarpas, A. (author)Bituminous materials form a class of materials that possess the intrinsic ability to selfheal. This self-healing capability is evidenced by the observation that the service life of these materials in the field exceeds the service life as predicted by standard mechanical laboratory tests. This mismatch between laboratory prediction and field...conference paper 2013

Liu, Z. (author), Besseling, N.A.M. (author), Mendes, E. (author), Picken, S.J. (author)Polyborosiloxanes (PBSs) are viscoelastic, transparent, colourless, self-healable polymer matrices, synthesized by reacting linear polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMSs) with boric acid (BA) above 150°C. BA takes part not only in cleaving the PDMS chains, but also contributes boronic-acid like moieties to the cleaved chain ends, which provide...conference paper 2013

Palin, D. (author), Wiktor, V. (author), Jonkers, H.M. (author)Marine concrete structures are exposed to one of the most hostile of natural environments. Many physical and chemical phenomena are usually interdependent and mutually reinforcing in the deterioration of marine exposed concrete: expansion and microcracking due to physical effects increases concrete permeability paving the way for harmful...conference paper 2013

(author)Polymeric nano-materials utilization in reinforced concrete, aiming to deal with steel corrosion was developed in previous works. Promising results were obtained with PEO–b–PS nano-formations, both in terms of enhanced bulk matrix properties and improved steel corrosion resistance. Recent research has been focusing on a cheaper and commercially...conference paper 2013

Ollier, R.P. (author), Penoff, M.E. (author), Rodriguez, E.S. (author), Alvarez, V.A. (author)Advances in the study of composite polymeric materials for structural applications have suggested the possibility of an early elimination of cracks to avoid macroscopic damage of the material. Hence, the concept of self-healing composite materials has been introduced to reduce the maintenance cost and frequency, to increase the life in service...conference paper 2013

Perelmuter, M. (author)The subject of this paper is the mathematical modelling of the crack self-healing process. For self-healing modeling of cracked structures the bridged crack approach is used. In the frames of this approach is assumed: 1) there is a crack in a structure after service loading; 2) there are bonds between surfaces of a crack (which are induced by a...conference paper 2013

Huang, H. (author), Ye, G. (author)Since self-healing of cracks is able to improve the durability of concrete structures, it has attracted much attention in the recent years. As known, in concrete matrix there are large amounts of cement grains remaining unhydrated, particularly in high performance concrete. Further hydration of these unhydrated cement grains has potential to...conference paper 2013

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

Koper, G.J.M. (author), Boekhoven, J. (author), Hendriksen, W.E. (author), Eelkema, R. (author), Van Esch, J.H. (author)Self-assembled systems formed of micelles or vesicles have frequently been discussed as model systems for self-healing materials because their structure is dictated by thermodynamics and hence they quickly restore upon perturbation. In this aspect, they mimic many natural systems such as biological cells. However, in contrast to most synthetic...conference paper 2013
