Speck, T. (author), Speck, O. (author), Masselter, T. (author), Bohn, H. (author), Mülhaupt, R. (author)Plants have inspired the development of numerous novel (self-)adaptive and selfhealing materials, structures and surfaces over the last decade. Examples include: (1) self-repairing elastomers for sealing gaskets and dampers inspired by self-healing processes in latex bearing plants, (2) self-adaptive biomimetic attachment systems inspired by...conference paper 2013

Di Credico, B. (author), Levi, M. (author), Turri, S. (author)The thermally reversible Diels-Alder adducts are attractive building blocks for the design of intrinsic self-healing materials that do not have an additional healing agent but possess the capability to repair the damage through inherent reversibility of bonding into the polymer matrix. We report the development of new thermally responsive...conference paper 2013

(author)The microcapsules of epoxy E-51 resin encapsulated by cured itself were prepared by interfacial curing reaction, in which ethylenediamine (EDA) was employed as curing agent and sulfonated copolymer of styrene and maleic anhydride (SMA) as emulsifying agent. Its found the morphology of microcapsules strongly depend on reaction time and EDA...conference paper 2013

AbdolahZadeh, M. (author), Esteves, A.C.C. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Garcia Espallargas, S.J. (author)Sol-gel technology is increasingly being used in coatings for corrosion protection and adhesion improvement. So far, the self-healing concept in sol-gel coatings has only been approached from extrinsic healing perspective (i.e. use of nano and micro carriers of corrosion inhibitors) [1]. Despite the benefits of this approach, the damaged area...conference paper 2013

Prajer, M. (author), Wu, X. (author), Garcia Espallargas, S.J. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author)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...conference paper 2013

Qiu, J. (author), Schlangen, H.E.J.G. (author), Van de Ven, M.F.C. (author), Shirazi, M. (author)Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) is one of the largest fractions of raw materials used in road construction today. Probably over 90% of the total RA in the Netherlands is being reused in new asphalt constructions. RA contains aggregates coated with very hard bitumen (penetration grade of 10-20). During service, the bituminous binder loses its flexibility...conference paper 2013

Pauli, A. (author), Schmets, A.J.M. (author), Kasbergen, C. (author), Varveri, K. (author), Scarpas, A. (author)Bituminous materials form a class of materials that possess the intrinsic ability to selfheal. This self-healing capability is evidenced by the observation that the service life of these materials ‘in the field’ exceeds the service life as predicted by standard mechanical laboratory tests. This mismatch between laboratory prediction and field...conference paper 2013

Ishikawa, Y. (author)In recent studies, it has been recognized that concrete deterioration is accelerated by the growth of fine cracks of a few micron meters in width induced by dry shrinkage and/or freezing damage. There have been great expectations for research on concrete that self-heals these fine cracks. Recent research (for example, Taniguchi et al. in the 3rd...conference paper 2013

Truong, P.V. (author), Kishi, T. (author), Kayondo, M. (author)Self-healing concrete (SHC) can heal itself from cracks and other minor imperfections and thus prolong the life of the material itself and structure. In plain and reinforced concrete structures, fatigue is one of the major causes of both material and structural failures. Under the moving load due to traffic, it is not only the relatively simple...conference paper 2013
