Self-Healing Polymeric Materials Using Epoxy/Mercaptan as the Healant
Abstract
A self-healing system based on conventional epoxy resin was successfully developed in this work. Epoxy and its hardener mercaptan were microencapsulated as two-component healing agent, and then the microcapsules were embedded in epoxy matrix. Attractive healing effect can be acquired at low capsule content (e.g., 43.5% healing efficiency with 1 wt % capsules and 104.5% healing efficiency with 5 wt % capsules at 20 °C for 24 h). Since only a few healant proves to be sufficient for crack repairing, a better balance between strength and toughness restoration can thus be achieved. As a result of high flowability, fast consolidation, and molecular miscibility of the released healing agent consisting of epoxy and mercaptan, self-healing was allowed to proceed rapidly offering satisfactory repair effectiveness.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
