Self-healing polymer nanocomposite materials: A review (2015, neutral): “The capsule shells a re typically made of poly (ureaformaldehyde) (PUF); polyurethane; poly (melamine-urea-formalde hyde) (PMUF) and poly (melamine-formaldehyde) (PMF), to name a few [31-36].”
The Potential of Microencapsulated Self-healing Materials for Microcracks Recovery in Self-healing Composite Systems: A Review (2016, methodology): “The matrix (graphite fiber) was heated by electrical resistance to 150 C. Mode III fracture testing used by Keller et al.112 also showed tear strength recovery up to 100% and is discussed in detail in section 4.2.2.”
Self-Healing Materials Systems: Overview of Major Approaches and Recent Developed Technologies (2012, methodology): “Using this test protocol, more than 70% recovery of the original tear strength was achieved in the PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) system [29].”
Self healing in polymers and polymer composites. Concepts, realization and outlook: A review (2008, methodology): “In contrast to the above methods, Cho et al. dispersed phase-separated droplets of hydroxyl endfunctionalized polydimethylsiloxane (HOPDMS) and polydiethoxysiloxane (PDES) into a vinyl ester matrix, in which the catalyst, di-n-butyltin dilaurate (DBTL), contained within polyurethane microcapsules, w”
