- Self healing in polymers and polymer composites. Concepts, realization and outlook: A review (2008, methodology): “proved that the epoxy based composites reinforced by hollow glass fibers containing solvent diluted two-part epoxy became repairable as assessed by compression after impact test [38].”
- Self-Healing Materials Systems: Overview of Major Approaches and Recent Developed Technologies (2012, background): “[18] were among the first to develop and implement a fibre filling method involving “capillary action” that is assisted by vacuum, which is now the main commonly used process.”
- Cracks, microcracks and fracture in polymer structures: Formation, detection, autonomic repair (2016, background): “It has been reported that fibre with smaller diameters reduce the detrimental effect associated with large diameter fibres [190].”
- Self-healing polymeric materials: A review of recent developments (2008, background): “[113] developed a self-healing epoxy composite using smaller hollow glass fibers (with external diameter of 15 μm and internal diameter of 5 μm) to function as structural reinforcement and as containers for self-healing chemicals (cyanoacrylate or epoxy) and X-ray opaque dye.”
