Corrosion in the metallic structures has been a significant economic concern, with corrosion
degradation estimated to cost between 2–5% of the gross national product of all countries …

There have been a number of review papers on layered silicate and carbon nanotube
reinforced polymer nanocomposites, in which the fillers have high aspect ratios. Particulate …

Self‐healing polymers (SHP) are the polymers that have the capability to recover the
material from any physical damage by responding to the damages or cracks in the material …

In this study, to reduce the size significantly, a number of microcapsules were prepared to
apply in situ encapsulation method with poly (urea-formaldehyde)(PUF) as the shell material …

One-dimensional materials, such as nanowires, nanotubes, or nanofibers, have attracted
more and more attention recently due to their unique physical properties. Their large length …

Self-healing composites based on epoxy resin containing poly (methyl
methacrylate)(PMMA) microcapsules filled with healing agents were prepared. The effect of …
