Abstract During the long-term use of the coating, environmental factors, physical damage or other factors may cause micro-cracks in the coating. The expansion of microcracks will destroy the overall structure of the coating, reduce the protective effect of the coating and degrade its mechanical properties. However, the traditional repair methods need to consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and the micro-cracks in the coating are difficult to be repaired by the traditional external means. Inspired by biological systems, intelligent coatings with certain self-healing ability have attracted wide attention in academia and industry. According to the different remediation agents used in self-healing micro capsules, several common self-healing coating systems of micro capsules were analyzed, including corrosion inhibitor system, capsule drying oil system, capsule reactive repair agent system, etc.

Improving the strength of the concrete structures and increasing the service life is an important issue. The service times of the concrete remained; external factors such as water penetrating into these micro-cracks and shorten the life of the concrete. In order to solve this problem, the idea of self-healing concrete with bacteria or other materials has been put forward and studies have shown that using CaO based materials that repair cracks in this direction by precipitating calcite. It is obvious that long term performance of concrete will increase with to prevent water pass to concrete interior. Instead of forming a barrier on the positive or negative side of concrete, water proofing admixture turn the concrete itself into a water barrier. Internal concrete waterproofing systems can be water repellents or crystalline admixtures. In this study, water proofing admixture was added to concrete mixture as water proofing material and its effect on self-healing in terms of filling the pores was investigated. Beam samples including the CaO based water proofing powder materials were produced in size of 285x75x25 mm. The samples were cracked in the flexural machine. After some days, the cracks were investigated by microscope. Crak control was continued till 28 days. At the end of study, the cracks smaller than 0.3 mm were self-healed. However, the bigger cracks than 0.3 mm cannot be self-healed by water proofing material. Consequently, self-healing of concrete with CaO based water proofing powder material is very promising for the environmentally friendly and sustainable structures of the future.

Cellulose nanofibre (CNF), a material composed of ultrafine fibres of wood cellulose fibrillated to nano-order level, is expected to be widely used because of its excellent properties. However, in the field of geotechnical engineering, almost no progress has been made in the development of techniques for using CNFs. The authors have focused on the use of CNF as an additive in cement treatment for soft ground, where cement is added to solidify the ground, because CNF can reduce the problems associated with cement-treated soil. This paper presents the results of a study on the method of mixing CNF, the strength and its variation obtained by adding CNF, and the change in permeability. CNF had the effect of mixing the cement evenly and reducing the variation in the strength of the treated soil. The CNF mixture increased the strength at the initial age but reduced the strength development in the long term. The addition of CNF also increased the flexural strength, although it hardly changed the permeability.

With the depletion of petroleum energy, the possibility of prices of petroleum-based materials increasing, and increased environmental awareness, biodegradable materials as a kind of green alternative have attracted more and more research attention. In this context, poly (lactic acid) has shown a unique combination of properties such as nontoxicity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and good workability. However, examples of its known drawbacks include poor tensile strength, low elongation at break, poor thermal properties, and low crystallization rate. Lignocellulosic materials such as lignin and cellulose have excellent biodegradability and mechanical properties. Compounding such biomass components with poly (lactic acid) is expected to prepare green composite materials with improved properties of poly (lactic acid). This paper is aimed at summarizing the research progress of modification of poly (lactic acid) with lignin and cellulose made in in recent years, with emphasis on effects of lignin and cellulose on mechanical properties, thermal stability and crystallinity on poly (lactic acid) composite materials. Development of poly (lactic acid) composite materials in this respect is forecasted.

The high mechanical strength and long-term resistance to the fibrous capsule formation are two major challenges for implantable materials. Unfortunately, these two distinct properties do not come together and instead compromise each other. Here, we report a unique class of materials by integrating two weak zwitterionic hydrogels into an elastomer-like high-strength pure zwitterionic hydrogel via a “swelling” and “locking” mechanism. These zwitterionic-elastomeric-networked (ZEN) hydrogels are further shown to efficaciously resist the fibrous capsule formation upon implantation in mice for up to 1 year. Such materials with both high mechanical properties and long-term fibrous capsule resistance have never been achieved before. This work not only demonstrates a class of durable and fibrous capsule–resistant materials but also provides design principles for zwitterionic elastomeric hydrogels.
