Self-healing polymeric materials: A review of recent developments (2008, methodology): “Under the testing conditions used by Bond and associates, the composites without any healing agents also had healing efficiencies up to 87% [115], meaning that the highest efficiency achieved in this work actually”
Cracks, microcracks and fracture in polymer structures: Formation, detection, autonomic repair (2016, methodology): “Pong and Bond [1,20] used encapsulation methods to release a UV fluorescent dye into damaged sites within the internal structure of the composites.”
A hollow fibre reinforced polymer composite encompassing self-healing and enhanced damage visibility (2005, methodology): “of self-healing for 24 hours at ambient temperature as this had previously been established [ 29 ] as the”
Self-Healing Materials Systems: Overview of Major Approaches and Recent Developed Technologies (2012, methodology): “Various groups [11, 12, 17, 40] have then used liquid dyes inside the composites in order to serve as a damage detection mechanism, providing hence a visible indication of the damage site, while allowing a clear evaluation of the flow of healing agents to those sites.”
