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

Zhang, M.Q. (author), Rong, M.Z. (author)Autonomic self-healing thermosetting polymers or elastomers have been substantially studied, in which polymerization of the healing agents released from pre-embedded capsules serves as the key issue. As for thermoplastics, another major class of polymeric materials, however, researches on their self-healing approaches are less reported. Here in...conference paper 2013

Song, Y.K. (author), Chung, C.M. (author)A protective coating is used to protect surface of a material from various deterioration factors. When cracks form and propagate in the coating, water, chloride ion, and carbon dioxide would penetrate through the cracks. This results in the deterioration of the material, leading to reduction in its serviceability. If the protective coating has...conference paper 2013

Zhu, G. (author), Wu, Z. (author), Zhou, Y. (author), Tang, J. (author), Dong, B. (author), Han, N. (author), Xing, F. (author)Epoxy E-51/UF resin microcapsules were prepared by traditional two-stepped in situ polymerization method and processing parameters affecting the final microcapsules shape and size were carefully studied in the aim to obtain microcapsule with ideally spherical shape and uniform size. Its found the polycarboxylate surfactant of SMA (styrene...conference paper 2013

Zhu, G. (author), Lü, L. (author), Tang, J. (author), Dong, B. (author), Han, N. (author), Xing, F. (author)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 melamineformaldehyde (MF) resin-walled epoxy E-51 microcapsules were successfully...conference paper 2013

Sordo, F. (author), Michaud, V. (author)Supramolecular polymers gained a great success in the last years as self-healing materials and many different systems have been developed. These polymers combine the advantages of intrinsic and autonomic self-healing systems. In 2010, Montarnal et al. developed a class of epoxy-based hybrid networks that combine both chemical and supramolecular...conference paper 2013

Wiktor, V. (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

(author)Nature uses a combination of dynamic hydrogen bonds and static covalent bonds in e.g. the muscle sarcomer to achieve toughness in otherwise elastic materials. The dynamic bonds can open when a force is applied, thereby providing a stress-relieve mechanism to prevent rupturing of the covalent links. Upon release of external force the hydrogen...conference paper 2013

Ducasse-Lapeyrusse, J. (author), Gagné, R. (author), Lors, C. (author), Damidot, D. (author)Bio-healing is a promising approach to enhancing natural self-healing and thus completely heal large micro-cracks (> 200 ?m) in cementitious materials. The aim of this research is to better understand bio-healing of cementitious materials in order to accelerate the healing kinetics and maximize sealing efficiency of large micro-cracks. The bio...conference paper 2013

Fan, S. (author), Li, M. (author)Concrete cracking is inevitable, and can be the result of one or a combination of factors such as dry shrinkage, thermal contraction, fatigue, and embedded steel corrosion. The presence of cracks leads to further deterioration, service life reduction of concrete infrastructure, and frequent maintenance and repairs. These challenges can be...conference paper 2013

(author)In order to limit the release of CO2 produced in cement manufacturing, clinker (the major cement component) is often partially replaced by mineral admixtures like blastfurnace slag. The use of mineral admixtures presents different advantages such as the recycling of industrial waste and the improvement of different material properties ...conference paper 2013
