Crack Self-healing Behavior of Cementitious Composites Incorporating Various Mineral Admixtures (2010, background): “Various chemicals including methyl methacrylate (Dry and McMillan 1996), ethyl cyanoacrylate (Li et al. 1998; Joseph et al. 2010) and polyurethane combined with an accelerator (van Tittelboom et al. 2011) have demonstrated the ability of recovering concrete mechanical and transport properties.”
On the use of crystalline admixtures in cement based construction materials: from porosity reducers to promoters of self healing (2016, background): “In the very last decade a huge amount of research work has been dedicated to ‘engineered’ self-healing, along different directions of investigation: self-healing engineered with fibre reinforcement [20–28], mineral-producing bacteria [29], super absorbent polymers [30], healing agents contained in s”
Simulation of self-healing by further hydration in cementitious materials (2012, background): “Since self-healing of cracks can significantly prolong the service life of the concrete structures, it has attracted much attention in the last decade [3–8].”
