Smart releasing behavior of a chemical self-healing microcapsule in the stimulated concrete pore solution (2015, background): “In addition to the further improvement of this novel approach for the crack repairing and mechanical performance recovery, its attention has been turned to the recovery of degradations induced by reinforcement corrosion, which is generally regarded as the major threatening in marine environments [14”
Use of bacterial cell walls to improve the mechanical performance of concrete (2013, background): “Also by incorporating live bacteria in concrete, MICP has been shown to improve mechanical properties [3–5] and self-healing of concrete [6].”
Robust Self-Healing Concrete for Sustainable Infrastructure (2012, positive): “Evidence of selfhealing was based on visual observation of calcium carbonate precipitates on the cracked surfaces after 100 days of immersion in water (Wiktor and Jonkers 2011).”
