...Dibyendu Adak; Donkupar Francis Marbaniang; Subhrajit Dutta Purpose Self-healing concrete is a revolutionary building material that will generally reduce the maintenance cost of concrete constructions. Self-healing of cracks in concrete structure would contribute to a longer service life...

... of structural performances of carbon fibers samples in the presence of nanofillers, as multi-walled carbon nanontubes or microcapsules for the self-healing functionality. Design/methodology/approach The paper opted for a mechanical study. Experimental static and dynamic tests on “blank” and modified...

...Marialuigia Raimondo; Felice De Nicola; Ruggero Volponi; Wolfgang Binder; Philipp Michael; Salvatore Russo; Liberata Guadagno Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the first experiments to manufacture self-healing carbon fiber reinforced panels (CFRPs) for the realization of structural...

... and the possible self‐healing effect. The Raman spectra in the scratch tentatively assigned to Cu(8‐Q)2 compound. This result shows that the enhanced anti‐corrosive properties of the films with loaded nanocontainers can be attributed to the released inhibitor from the nanocontainer. Findings The authors found...
