Experimental investigation of adhesive-based self-healing of cementitious materials (2010, background): “…the case of healing within engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) (Li et al., 1998) where tubes have multiple cracks, and the case of self-healing within laminated composites (Williams et al., 2007), where the tubes are sheared along their lengths as a result of the delaminating mode of failure.”
Design of microvascular flow networks using multi-objective genetic algorithms (2008, background): “One example of a bio-mimetic material uses hollow fibers embedded in a polymeric matrix and filled with an uncured healing agent, which is released when the fibers experience damage [ 13 ,23].”
Self-Healing Materials Systems: Overview of Major Approaches and Recent Developed Technologies (2012, background): “By using hollow glass fibres in these composites—alone or in conjunction with other reinforcing fibres it would be possible to not only gain the desired structural improvements, but to also introduce a reservoir suitable for the containment of a healing agent [40–43].”
Metal additive manufacturing in the commercial aviation industry: A review (2019, background): “Moreover, the increasing use of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) materials in aerospace is driving the interest in Titanium alloys [114, 115].”
