Evaluation of novel autonomous self-healing polymer composite
Autonomous self-healing materials offer a novel ability to self-repair damage caused by fatigue or fracture. Applications in many industries, from medical to aerospace, suffer from formation of microcracks, which often result in catastrophic failure of the product when the cracks remain undetected. …

A Bio-Inspired Self-Healing Polymer System for Sustainable Plastics
… heal allows us to integrate this biological self-healing motif into synthetic biomimetic polymers. These types of polymers will be used to develop components with greater fatigue life and toughness, promoting greater resource sustainability by reducing plastic consumption. The amino acid …

Fracture and Fatigue of a Self -Healing Polymer Composite Material
… is performed to assess the fatigue behavior of a self-healing polymer. The inherent fatigue characteristics of the material are measured. A fatigue-life-extension-based protocol is established for characterizing self-healing under a cyclic loading. Retardation and arrest of the fatigue crack …

Development of Self -Healing Polymer Composites and Photoinduced Ring -Opening Metathesis Polymerization
… performing Photoinduced Ring Opening Metathesis Polymerization (PROMP) is demonstrated. Polymerization of norbornene and dicyclopentadiene has been performed, showing the simplicity and ease of this procedure. The resulting poly(norbornene) shows high trans content (85%) of the ring opened double …

Polydimethylsiloxane-Based Self -Healing Composite and Coating Materials
We demonstrate the bulk self-healing property of a polymer composite composed of a phase-separated PDMS healing agent and a microencapsulated organotin catalyst by chemical and mechanical testing. Another significant research focus is on self-healing polymer coatings which prevent corrosion of a …

Magnetic Induction for In-situ Healing of Polymeric Material
The field of self-healing materials is growing dramatically due to the obvious in- centive of having structural materials with the ability to repair damage. Some polymers have demonstrated the ability to heal from damage autonomously[12, 26], when exposed to heat[1], or when punctured[5, 9]. The …

Novel encapsulation technologies for small size-scale self-healing applications
Self-healing technology offers an autonomic route to repairing damage in advanced polymers to extend their lifetime. A variety of self-healing systems have been developed for mechanical self-healing, protective coatings, and electronic self-healing. These self-healing systems rely on functional …
