Cordioli, C. (author), Bauters, E. (author), Muselle, T. (author), Hubin, A. (author)Commonly coatings are used to protect metals from corrosion. Different types of coatings are available and according to their characteristics they provide different levels of protection. In order to evaluate the performance of the coating, it is fundamental to have a methodology that is reliable and efficient even when applied to different kinds...conference paper 2013

Mathis, C. (author), Garcia Espallargas, S.J. (author)Encapsulation of reactive agents embedded within a matrix is the most studied concept to develop self-healing materials. The most common approaches employ either a single component with catalyst dispersed in the matrix or a single environment-reactive component for corrosion protection [1]. Recently an approach for corrosion protection based on...conference paper 2013

Brancart, J. (author), Scheltjes, G. (author), Diaz, M.M. (author), Van Mele, B. (author), Van Assche, G. (author)Research in the field of smart materials that exhibit self-repair mechanisms has greatly expanded over the last few years. This is especially true for polymers and polymer composite materials. One class of self-healing polymer materials is the reversible polymer network systems that use dynamic covalent bonds as a means to repair sustained...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

Bode, S. (author), Bose, R. (author), Sandmann, B. (author), Hager, M.D. (author), Garcia, S.J. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Schubert, U.S. (author)In the last decade several intrinsic self-healing materials have been developed in which the healing mechanism was mainly based on the reversibility of a certain structural element. For this purpose, reversible covalent bonds, e.g., based on the Diels-Alder reaction or weaker non-covalent interactions, e.g., hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions...conference paper 2013

Gualandi, C. (author), Zucchelli, A. (author), Osorio, M.F. (author), Focarete, M.L. (author)The creation of an extensive vasculature in composite structures is a challenge. The Bond and White groups are pioneers of different methods to achieve composite vascularisation, all of them based on the removal of sacrificial micro-fibres previously embedded in a polymer matrix. We propose the use of electrospinning to produce sacrificial sub...conference paper 2013

Hilloulin, B. (author), Grondin, F. (author), Matallah, M. (author), Loukili, A. (author)Cracks, caused by shrinkage or external loading, reduce the durability of concrete structures as aggressive substances can easily enter in the capillary network of the cementitious matrix. Natural autogenous healing ability of concrete by further hydration or precipitation has been studied experimentally for many years. Autogenous healing of...conference paper 2013

Lucas, S.S. (author), Nellesen, A. (author), Von Tapavicza, M. (author)In the last decade, an increasing attention has been given to the development of repairing capabilities in materials, with an emphasis in specific strategies that can promote self-healing, with or without external triggers. Self-healing has opened several new possibilities, especially in applications where long-term reliability is demanded and...conference paper 2013

(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
