It has become one of the research directions of intelligent materials for self-healing asphalt pavements to use a bionic microvascular containing oily rejuvenator. The rejuvenator in a microvascular can carry out the healing of asphalt micro-cracks, thus reducing the damage to and prolonging the life of asphalt pavement. The aim of this work was to investigate the smart self-healing capability of an asphalt/microvascular material through its microstructure and mechanical properties. Microstructure observation indicated no interface separation between the microvasculars and bitumen matrix. Micro-CT images showed that microvasculars dispersed in asphalt samples without accumulation or tangles. The phenomenon of microcracks healing without intervention was observed, which proved that the fractured asphalt sample carried out the self-healing process with the help of rejuvenator diffusing out from the broken microvasculars. The self-healing efficiency of asphalt samples was also evaluated through a tensile test considering the factors of microvasculars content, healing time and healing temperature. It was found that the tensile strength of the asphalt samples was greatly enhanced by the addition of microvasculars under a set test condition. Self-healing efficiency was enhanced with more broken microvasculars in the rupture interface of the asphalt sample. During two self-healing cycles, the self-healing efficiency of the asphalt sample with three microvascular per 1 cm2 of a broken interface were able to reach 80% and 86%. This proves that microvasculars containing rejuvenator play a practical role in the self-healing process of asphalt. With an increase in temperature from 0 to 30 °C, the self-healing capability of the asphalt samples increased dramatically. An increase in time increased the self-healing capability of the bitumen samples. At last, a preliminary mathematical model also deduced that the self-healing efficiency was determined by the individual healing steps, including release, penetration and diffusion of the rejuvenator agent.

The Impact

Cementitious structures have prevailed worldwide and are expected to exhibit further growth in the future. Nevertheless, cement cracking is an issue that needs to be addressed in order to enhance structure durability and sustainability especially when exposed to aggressive environments. The purpose of this work was to examine the impact of the Superabsorbent Polymers (SAPs) incorporation into cementitious composite materials (mortars) with respect to their structure (hybrid structure consisting of organic core—inorganic shell) and evaluate the microstructure and self-healing properties of the obtained mortars. The applied SAPs were tailored to maintain their functionality in the cementitious environment. Control and mortar/SAPs specimens with two different SAPs concentrations (1 and 2% bwoc) were molded and their mechanical properties were determined according to EN 196-1, while their microstructure and self-healing behavior were evaluated via microCT. Compressive strength, a key property for mortars, which often degrades with SAPs incorporation, in this work, practically remained intact for all specimens. This is coherent with the porosity reduction and the narrower range of pore size distribution for the mortar/SAPs specimens as determined via microCT. Moreover, the self-healing behavior of mortar-SAPs specimens was enhanced up to 60% compared to control specimens. Conclusively, the overall SAPs functionality in cementitious-based materials was optimized.

Recently, self-healing coating is classified as one of the smart coatings which has the ability to heal or repair damage of the coating to prevent further corrosion. The aim of this study is to synthesize the self-healing coatings from polymeric material and evaluate the performance and their corrosion behavior when coated on steel substrates. The corrosion tests were performed using immersion test and salt spray test method at room temperature. The immersion test shows that self-healing coating gives lower corrosion rate compared to pure epoxy paint, with a value of 0.02 and 0.05 mm/year respectively. Also, salt spray test shows similar trend as the immersion test, which is 0.11 and 0.19 mm/year for self-healing coating and pure epoxy paint respectively. While uncoated samples without any protection corroded at 0.89 mm/year. It was also found that the damage on self-healing coating was covered with zeolite from the microcapsules indicating that the self-healing agent was successfully synthesized and could function well. In other words, self-healing coating shows better corrosion resistance compared to the pure epoxy coating on steel substrate.

A new biomimetic strategy to im prove the self-healing properties of Portland cement is presented that is based on the application of the biogenic inorganic polymer polyphosphate (polyP), which is used as a cement admixture. The data show that synthetic linear polyp, with an average chain length of 40, as well as natural long-chain polyP isolated from soil bacteria, has the ability to support self-healing of this construction material. Furthermore, polyP, used as a water-soluble Na-salt, is subject to Na+/Ca2+ exchange by the Ca2+ from the cement, resulting in the formation of a water-rich coacervate when added to the cement surface, especially to the surface of bacteria-containing cement/concrete samples. The addition of polyP in low concentrations (<1% on weight basis for the solids) not only accelerated the hardening of cement/concrete but also the healing of microcracks present in the material. The results suggest that long-chain polyP is a promising additive that increases the self-healing capacity of cement by mimicking a bacteria-mediated natural mechanism.
