The fatigue response of an epoxy matrix containing vasculature for the delivery of liquid healing agents is investigated. The release of a rapidly curing, two-part epoxy healing chemistry into the wake of a propagating crack reduces the rate of crack extension by shielding the crack tip from the full range of applied stress intensity factor. Crack propagation is studied for a variety of loading conditions,...
Incorporating self-healing functionality in a polysiloxane elastomer successfully retards the growth of fatigue cracks under torsional fatigue loading. The fully in situ self-healing material consists of a microencapsulated vinyl-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) resin containing platinum catalyst compounds and a microencapsulated initiator (methylhydrosiloxane), embedded in a poly(dimethylsiloxane)...
