In the present investigation, thermo-reversible bonds formed between maleimide and furan groups (Diels–Alder (DA)-based bis-maleimides (BMI)) have been generated to enable high-performance unidirectional (UD) carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRPs) with self-healing (SH) functionality. The incorporation of the SH agent (SHA) was performed locally, only in areas of interest, with the solution electrospinning process (SEP) technique. More precisely, reference and modified CFRPs with (a) pure SHA, (b) SHA modified with multi-walled carbon nano-tubes (MWCNTs) and (c) SHA modified with graphene nano-platelets (GNPs) were fabricated and further tested under Mode I loading conditions. According to experimental results, it was shown that the interlaminar fracture toughness properties of modified CFRPs were considerably enhanced, with GNP-modified ones to exhibit the best toughening performance. After the first fracture and the activation of the healing process, C-scan inspections revealed, macroscopically, a healing efficiency (H.E.) of 100%; however, after repeating the tests, a low recovery of mechanical properties was achieved. Finally, optical microscopy (OM) examinations not only showed that the epoxy matrix at the interface was partly infiltrated by the DA resin, but it also revealed the presence of pulled-out fibers at the fractured surfaces, indicating extended fiber bridging between crack flanks due to the presence of the SHA.

In this paper, metallocene based LLDPE (mLLDPE) extra-fine fiber , which can not be processed by a common solution electrospinning method.was successfully prepared via a melt electrospinning method. First, a self-designed melt electrospinning device was manufctured and it was used to produce mLLDPE fibers . Then LLDPE extra-fine fiber was successfully prepared by addition of viscosity-reducing additive such as wax, and the resulted fiber was charctered by SEM. Last, the optimal parameters for the preparation of mLLDPE fiber was determined. The experimental results show that commercial mLLDPE can hardly be processed to fibers because of its high viscosity. The diameter and morphology of resulted mLLDPE electrospun fibers depend on the electrospinning parameters such as electric field strength and collecting distance.

Multi-walled healing fibers with a novel architecture are fabricated through a direct, one-step tri-axial electrospinning process to encapsulate different healing agents inside the fibers with two distinct protective walls.

In this critical review, we have enlisted a comprehensive summary of different approaches that have been used over the past decade to synthesize self-healing polyurethanes including “close then heal” and “shape memory assisted self-healing” concept.
