Self-Healing Fiber-Reinforced Composite
Year: 2015
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: Thermosetting polymer composites with autonomic self-healing ability were prepared and investigated. Self-healing mechanism is based on catalyzed polymerization of healing agent. Epoxy based composites were reinforced with polymer fibers and microcapsules carrying active components for self-healing. Polymer fibers were prepared by electrospinning technique. Healing efficiency of the system was investigated using controlled energy impact tests; absorbed impact energies of virgin and healed samples were compared. For confirmation of healing monomer’s polymerization, FTIR analysis was used. SEM analysis showed morphology of fibers and microcapsules.
