Preparation of mono-sized epoxy/MF microcapsulesin the appearance of polyvinyl alcohol as co-emulsifier

For epoxy microcapsules embedded in concrete as mechanic-triggered self-healing adhesive, globular shape with uniform size is the basic requirement to ensure the solid shell broken and the liquid core released at a designed stress. In this paper, monodispersed melamine–formaldehyde (MF) resin-walled epoxy E-51 microcapsules were successfully...

Advances in chloride diffusion of concrete exposed to marine field environment

For elaborating the research significance, goal, content and representative results of the concrete marine field exposure experiments all over the world, we have collected a large number of research literature since 1905. The longest exposure test for concrete has reached 62 years and, most importantly, concrete exposure experiments have made...
