Adapted processing routes for self-healing fibre-reinforced composites

Fibre-reinforced polymers development has been driven by the need for materials that combine high stiffness and low density, but composites based on thermoset matrices tend to remain sensitive to damage, that may occur early in the matrix. Improved efficiency could be gained by integrating functionalities into the structure, namely a self...
