Wiktor, V. (author), Jonkers, H.M. (author)La formation d’un réseau continu de fissures contribue à l’augmentation de la perméabilité du béton, réduisant ainsi de manière importante sa résistance à l’attaque d’agents agressifs dissous dans l’eau. Afin d’augmenter la capacité de cicatrisation autogène du béton, certains agents cicatrisants spécifiques peuvent être incorporés dans la...journal article 2011

Lubelli, B. (author), Nijland, T.G. (author), Van Hees, R.P.J. (author)In the present research a test procedure was set up to reproduce self-healing on lime-based (both pure calcium and magnesium-calcium) mortar specimens in laboratory. After few months testing, during which the specimens were subjected to wet-dry cycles, thin sections of the specimens were prepared and observed by Polarization and Fluorescence...conference paper 2011

Labib, D.A. (author)A polymer-modified self-healing mortar is a mixture of Portland cement, water, sand, polymer and self-healing material. The polyacrylic ester emulsion (PAE) is used as polymer and as self-healing material bacterial spores from genus Bacillus + calcium lactate is used. The reason why this type of bacteria is used as a component of self-healing...bachelor thesis 2012

Cordioli, C. (author), Bauters, E. (author), Muselle, T. (author), Hubin, A. (author)Commonly coatings are used to protect metals from corrosion. Different types of coatings are available and according to their characteristics they provide different levels of protection. In order to evaluate the performance of the coating, it is fundamental to have a methodology that is reliable and efficient even when applied to different kinds...conference paper 2013

Mors, R.M. (author), Jonkers, H.M. (author)A functional experimental concrete system has been developed in our lab, in which a two component bacteria-based healing agent contained in a protective reservoir is included in the concrete mixture. Incorporated bacteria have the potential to produce copious amounts of calcium carbonate based crystals from supplied mineral precursor compounds....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 PEObPS 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

Lafont, U.L. (author), Van Zeijl, H. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author)In this work, we investigate the formation of self-healing systems that are able to recover more than once more than one (mechanical or other physical) functionality. 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

Zhang, Z. (author), Qian, S. (author)Crack is called the intrinsic flaw of concrete that is inevitable for concrete infrastructures during their service life. The presence of crack offer aggressive agent access to pass through, which has a direct impact on durability, therefore resulting in shortened service life. Nevertheless, the influence of crack on the durability can be...conference paper 2013

Although noncovalent interactions are inherently weak and generally perceived as inadequate to construct macroscopic materials of sufficient integrity and cohesion, the emergence of nanotechnology has shown that the intrinsic weakness of noncovalent interactions can be...conference paper 2013

Snoeck, D. (author), Dubruel, P. (author), De Belie, N. (author)Cementitious materials are sensitive to crack formation and it would be beneficial if the material could stop the crack propagation, repair the damage and reach again the original liquid-tightness and/or strength. Therefore, a cementitious material with synthetic microfibres and superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) is proposed. Upon crack formation,...conference paper 2013

Lafont, U.L. (author), Van Zeijl, H.W. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author)While conventional self healing materials focus on the restoration of mechanical properties, newer generations of self healing materials focus on the restoration of other functional (i.e. non-mechanical) properties. Thermal conductivity is an example of an important functional property of a Thermal Interface Material (TIM) for LED’s and...conference paper 2013
