Poly (urea-formaldehyde) (PUF) shelled dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) microcapsules were prepared by in-situ polymerization technology for self-healing concrete applications. It’s found, during the process, sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) behaves better in emulsification of DCPD than other surfactant of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and styrene...

Aqueous cement suspensions without aggregates have been commonly applied as a remedial technique in structural and geotechnical applications, often comprising part of the permanent infrastructure. These suspensions derive their mechanical characteristics and properties through the same hydration processes and binding chemistry as concrete; thus...

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...

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 ...

After an artificial injury in succulent leaves of Delosperma cooperi and Delosperma ecklonis rapid wound sealing by deformation of the entire leaf takes place within approximately 90 minutes. On the basis of comparative anatomical and biomechanical analyses of the closely related species conclusions can be drawn on necessary boundary conditions...

A mathematical model for the post-damage recovery of carbonated cement is described. The model is based on a two-dimensional initial-boundary value problem for a system of partial differential equations. The study is embedded within the framework of investigating the effect of using lightweight expanded clay aggregate, which is incorporated into...

Simple methodorogy to evaluate availability of self-healing agent have been established from the investigation on the relationship between oxidation behavior of self-healing agent and self-healing phenomena. The consistency of the established methodology was discussed by comparison in the lower bound of the available temperature range of mullite...

Platinum nanoparticles, which are used as catalysts in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC), tend to degrade after long-term operation. We discriminate the following mechanisms of the degradation: poisoning, migration and coalescence, dissolution, and electrochemical Ostwald ripening. There are two ways to tackle this problem. The first...

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...

Polymers reinforced with high performance fibres are successfully replacing metal alloys in lightweight aircraft structures. A critical factor in structural design is the resistance of a structure to progressive damage which develops during its service time. The brittle nature of matrix cracking is the main source of composite failure initiating...

Polyborosiloxanes (PBSs) are viscoelastic, transparent, colourless, self-healable polymer matrices, synthesized by reacting linear polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMSs) with boric acid (BA) above 150°C. BA takes part not only in cleaving the PDMS chains, but also contributes boronic-acid like moieties to the cleaved chain ends, which provide...

High performance, damage tolerant fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials are currently required to demonstrate no propagation of any sub-surface structural micro-cracking when under service load, thereby encouraging overdesign and limiting the inherent lightweight nature of such a material. By incorporating selfhealing...

Covalent bonds with the ability to reach an equilibrium state between combination and dissociation under certain conditions have been studied, and systematic method for controlling the structures of compounds and polymers based on these reversible covalent bonds has been spotlighted as dynamic covalent chemistry. In the present study,...

The presence of cracks may significantly affect the life-cycle of structures, as a results of its influence on the designed structural response vs. persistent or even severe accidental load and exposure conditions, when requested. Repairing damaged concrete in existing structures needs important investments to recover the pristine level of...

Ethylene-co-methacrylic acid (EMAA) based ionomers have thermo-mechanical properties strongly dependent on neutralization level of acid groups. Research revealed also how these materials are able to heal after ballistic impacts. In order to better understand the role of neutralization level on the Self-Healing (SH) behaviour, mechanical and...

Research has been carried out with the aim of better understanding the relevant properties of materials to be used in a new self-healing cementitious composite material system. The system consists of shape memory polymer tendons embedded within a cementitious matrix, upon heat activation these tendons undergo a shrinkage process which closes any...
