Self-healing polymeric materials developed in the last decade is one of the marvels in the field of material science and polymer chemistry. Self-healing Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastics (GFRP) was fabricated with the microcapsule based self-healing system which can be triggered by the catalyst, when the capsule breaks open releasing the healing agent, during crack formation. The dynamic mechanical properties of the composite were assessed to find its dependence on temperature, stress and frequency and to report the changes in stiffness and damping. The storage modulus, loss modulus and damping factor were investigated for various frequencies and temperature and discussed.

The addition of microencapsulated healing agent or catalyst in a polymer matrix can potentially change its mechanical properties and processing characteristics. The extent of this change depends on the volume fraction of the additives, the level of interfacial interaction, and the inherent properties of the additives. For a self-healing concept to be viable, the healing performance should be achieved without compromising the overall processing and mechanical properties of the polymer matrix. In this study, tensile and dynamic mechanical properties were investigated and discussed for an amine-cured epoxy dispersed with different loadings of microcapsules.
