Self-healing of GFR/epoxy composite with binary vascular system

Creation of an ideal self-healing polymer composite material with durable performance could become an alternative to traditional improvement of lightweight constructions. A vascular strategy of the self-healing of the epoxy materials is based on healing agent (HA) delivery to the damage via system of channels formed in the material. The aim of...

Polymer composite layer with damage indication ability

Bio-inspired “bruisable” polymer composite layer is the solution in structural health monitoring processes which will allow minimise time of inspection and simplify the process of monitoring. The aim of the study was to develop polymer composite layer with damage indication ability. Visualization of damaged place is provided by colour changing...
