The development and characterization of self-healing synthetic polymeric materials have
been inspired by biological systems in which damage triggers an autonomic healing …

Recent advances in polymer and materials chemistry have led to the development of
materials that exhibit the ability to undergo repair. Depending on the structure and chemical …

By taking advantage of the superelastic effect of shape memory alloy (SMA) and the
cohering characteristic of repairing adhesive, a smart self-repairing concrete beam with …

Mendomers are a group of polymers that are mendable upon heating. Specifically, cracks in
these polymers have been shown to heal themselves when heated close to the glass …

An innovative approach to increase structural survivability of concrete and maintain
structural durability of concrete was developed in case of earthquakes and typhoons. This …

Using an advanced history dependent contact model for DEM simulations, including elasto-
plasticity, viscosity, adhesion, and friction, pressure-sintered tablets are formed from primary …

The development of self-healing metals is a novel idea that has not been explored in great
detail yet. The concept of self-healing described in this paper consists of incorporating a low …

For the last decade, many researchers have been working to develop self-healing materials,
and have obtained good results in the field of polymers. The research described in this …

The gas phase reaction thermodynamics in the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process of
preparing boron carbides via the precursors of BCl 3–C 3 H 6 (propene)–H 2 is investigated …
