Anticorrosive coatings: a review (2009, background): “The self-healing is accomplished by incorporating microcapsules containing functional constituents (healing agent and catalyst) within a polymer matrix prior to production.(341) These microcapsules will be manufactured to release their content when mechanically ruptured, which will occur when the co”
Self-Healing Materials Systems: Overview of Major Approaches and Recent Developed Technologies (2012, background): “In 2006, Keller and Sottos [56] have described how a capsule that has higher elastic modulus than the one of the polymer matrix material should create a stress field that tends to deflect cracks away from the capsule; a more compliant shell wall, on the other hand, will produce a stress field that a”
The Potential of Microencapsulated Self-healing Materials for Microcracks Recovery in Self-healing Composite Systems: A Review (2016, background): “While, a shell wall with lower elastic modulus will generate a stress field that will attract the crack on the way towards capsule.(31) In the second case the rupturing process is facilitated, making it sure that healing will occur if some mechanical damage happens.”
