• The effect of varying volume fraction of microcapsules on fresh, mechanical and self-healing properties of mortars (2016, methodology): “This finding somewhat contradicts previously reported data [31,35] where for up to 2% Cwt microcapsules the observed reduction in the compressive strength was 10–15%.”
• A review of microbial precipitation for sustainable construction (2015, background): “Bacterial cells or spores can be encapsulated in melamine-based microcapsule that provides resistance to high pH of the concrete, and creates self-healing system together with a nutritional source (say yeast extract) and deposition agents (includes urea and calcium source) [106].”
