Over the past three decades, significant efforts have been dedicated to developing
polymeric materials with exciting healable ability; however, stiff and healable plastics with …

In this study, the kinetic parameters belonging to the cross-linking process of a modified
epoxy resin, Aerotuf 275-34™, were investigated. Resin curing kinetics are crucial to …

Polymer-based components manufactured by stereolithography-based (SLA) three-
dimensional (3D) printing tend to show relatively poor mechanical strength compared to …

In the present study, the healing efficiency of microcapsules containing dicyclopentadiene
(DCDP) was investigated on carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRPs) via morphological …

This work reports the facile fabrication of graphite embedded polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)
composites using in-situ polymerization and investigates the impact of graphite fillers on …

Coatings are applied on metallic surfaces to provide a dense barrier against the corrosive
environment. However, coatings in most cases are vulnerable to damage in the form of …

Epoxy polymer composites embedded with thermally conductive nanofillers play an
important role in the thermal management of polymer microelectronic packages, since they …

Microcapsules of urea-formaldehyde (UF) containing dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) were
synthesized by the in situ polymerization technique for self-healing of epoxy. The dispersion …

In this study, a novel micromechanics-based damage model is proposed for the damage
evolution of a two-component microencapsulated-based self-healing polymer composite. In …
