Thermal Breakage and Self-Healing of a Polymer Chain under Tensile Stress

, 2010
We consider the thermal breakage of a tethered polymer chain of discrete segments coupled by Morse potentials under constant tensile stress. The chain dynamics at the onset of fracture is studied analytically by Kramers-Langer multidimensional theory and

Protein‐Mediated ZnO Synthesis for Self‐Healing in Natural Rubber

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering
Natural rubber (NR) consists of mainly cis‐1,4‐polyisoprene with proteins as notable nonrubber components that significantly influence its properties. A relatively unexplored aspect is the role of these proteins in reducing and stabilizing metal ions to ...

Self‐Healing Materials from Electronically Integrated Microscopic Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems
Biological materials heal, learn, and adapt thanks to the collective work of tiny agents acting at their microscale. Extensive research in robotics has tried to duplicate this scheme in a synthetic system, yet in their current centimeter‐scale forms, the

Particle coating using foams and bubbles : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2017
This thesis investigates powder coating using foams or bubbles. The work initially started on foams. Wettability studies first showed that foams can be used to coat powders. Research then focussed on the fundamental unit of foams, the bubble.

Self-healing of concrete cracks by the release of embedded water repellent agents and corrosion inhibitors to reduce the risk for reinforcement corrosion [PDF]

, 2017
From the worldwide steel production, approximately 50 per cent is required to replace corroded steel [1]. In the case of reinforced concrete structures, corrosion of the reinforcement steel causes crack formation and spalling which leads to ...

Water‐Triggered Reconfigurable Glycerogels for Sustainable All‐Gel Supercapacitors

Advanced Science
The polymeric structures of synthetic gels are typically static, which makes them damage‐prone and nonrecyclable. Inspired by the dynamic reconfigurability of biological tissues, which eliminate old/damaged cells and regenerate new ones via biological ...

Fabrication and assessment on morphological, thermal stability and self‐healing efficiency of microcapsule‐based jute/epoxy bio‐composites

SPE Polymers
In this study, microcapsule‐based jute fiber reinforced epoxy self‐healing composites were fabricated using the vacuum bagging technique. Water‐soluble epoxy microcapsules were synthesized by the in‐situ polymerization method.
