(author), Raquez, JM (author), van Tittelboom, K (author), Gruyaert, Elke (author), de Belie, N (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Polymeric capsules can have an advantage over glass capsules used up to now as proof-of-concept carriers in self-healing concrete. They allow easier processing and afford the possibility to fine tune their mechanical properties. Out of the multiple requirements for capsules used in this context, the capability of rupturing when crossed by a...journal article 2017

Bauer, Q. (author)Previous research showed fracture failure in the outsole of sports footwear. There was no method available for the quantification of the material behavior in with this failure mechanism. Therefor the goal of this research was to develop a mechanical test method for quantification of fatigue fracture behavior of a material when a crack is present...master thesis 2016

Rueda Ruiz, M. (author)Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) are often applied to hot components of modern turbojet engines. These coatings increase the performance of the engine and enhance the lifetime of its structural components. Thus, improving the TBC lifetime is related with a reduction of maintenance costs and increased reliability. As an alternative to conventional...master thesis 2016

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

Kurniadi Isnu, I.I. (author)A novel method to encapsulate MoSi2B healing particles was explored via in situ shell formation in yttria-stabilised zirconia thermal barrier coatings (YSZ-BCs). The shell formation was analysed for MoSi2B healing particles alloyed with 2, 6 and 12 wt% Al. According to oxidation kinetics study at 1100˚C using thermogravimetry, MoSi2B-12 wt% Al...master thesis 2016

Stikkelman, J. (author)MAX-phase materials, a class of ternary carbides and nitrides that combine favorable properties of metals (conductivity and toughness) and ceramics (high temperature strength) have been shown to autonomously heal micro-cracks by high temperature oxidation. The investigation of Ta and Al containing MAX phases (Ta2AlC & Ta4AlC3) could render self...master thesis 2016

Tabakovic, A. (author), Post, W. (author), Cantero, D. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author), Garcia, Santiago J. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)This paper explores the potential use of compartmented alginate fibres as a new method of incorporating rejuvenators into asphalt pavement mixtures. The compartmented fibres are employed to locally distribute the rejuvenator and to overcome the problems associated with spherical capsules and hollow fibres. The work presents proof of concept of...journal article 2016

(author)We report the main findings of our work on the behaviour of binary Fe-Cu and Fe-Au model alloys designed to explore routes to create new creep resistant steels having an in-built ability to autonomously fill creep induced porosity at grain boundaries. The alloying elements were selected on the basis of their ability to be brought in...conference paper 2016

Romero Rodriguez, C. (author), Chaves Figueiredo, S. (author), Chiaia, B. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Cracking in concrete structures compromises the durability and functionality of the structures themselves. Different kinds of self-healing concretes, less or more sophisticated, have been developed in the past ten years to overcome early cracks in structures. An experimental study of a novel self-healing concrete is presented. Bitumen, used as...conference paper 2016

Meijerink, M.J. (author)To increase lifetime of the protective thermal barrier coatings (TBC) in jet engines and other gas turbines, a self-healing approach based on MoSi2 healing particle addition is considered. However, due to rapid oxygen transport in yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), a common TBC material, premature oxidation is a major problem. This thesis...master thesis 2015
