Self-Healing of Cracks in Epoxy Composites
View through CrossRef
To provide epoxy based composites with self-healing ability, two-component healing
system consisting of urea-formaldehyde walled microcapsules containing epoxy (30~70µm in
diameter) and CuBr2(2-MeIm)4 (the complex of CuBr2 and 2-methylimidazole) latent hardener was
synthesized. When cracks were initiated or propagated in the composites, the neighbor
micro-encapsulated epoxy would be damaged and released. As the latent hardener is soluble in epoxy,
it can be well dispersed in epoxy composites during composites manufacturing, and hence activate the
released epoxy wherever it is. As a result, repair of the cracked sites is completed through curing of
the released epoxy. The present work indicated that the plain weave glass fabric laminates using the
above self-healing epoxy as the matrix have been provided with self-healing capability.
