Self-Healing Composite Materials: From Design to Applications

There is a huge demand for self-healing composites that respond to their environment like living matter. Unlike other composites, self-healing composites are combined with carbon materials and resins to form a recoverable composite material. Self-Healing Composite Materials covers the manufacturing, design, and characterization of self-healing composites, including basic characterization techniques, and the morphological, structural, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties, using real-world examples. The title begins with a mathematical background, and then considers innovative approaches to physical modelling, analysis, and design techniques. It provides a robust knowledge of modern self-healing composites with commercial applications. Self-Healing Composite Materials provides a unique resource on self-healing composites for materials scientists and engineers in academia, as well as researchers involved in the aerospace, automotive, wind-generation, construction, consumer goods, and marine industries. Covers composite fabrication from polymer, nano oxides, epoxy and plasticsGives detailed examples of how self-healing composites may be usedProvides readers with a robust knowledge of self-healing compositesPresents a unified approach to these human-friendly and commercially valuable materials INDICE: 1.
