Tabakovic, A. (author), Braak, Dirk (author), van Gerwen, Mark (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author), Post, W. (author), Garcia, Santiago J. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)This article presents development of a novel self-healing technology for asphalt pavements, where asphalt binder rejuvenator is encapsulated within the compartmented alginate fibres. The key objective of the study was to optimise the compartmented alginate fibre design, i.e., maximising amount of rejuvenator encapsulated within the fibre. The...journal article 2017

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

Schlangen, H.E.J.G. (author), Jonkers, H.M. (author), Qian, S. (author), Garcia, A. (author)In this paper an overview is given of new developments obtained in research on self healing of cracks in cement based materials and asphalt concrete. At Delft University various projects are running to study self healing mechanisms. The first project that is discussed is Bacterial Concrete, in which bacteria are mixed in concrete, that can...conference paper 2010
