Polymer materials incorporating microencapsulated self-healing agents have a wide range of application from paint coating, anti-corrosion coatings to automotive and construction materials. In this research, microcapsules containing reactive mercaptan compound for use in self healing polymers were successfully fabricated via the oil-in-water emulsion method. We employed for the first time the UV-initiated thiol-ene reaction between an alkene-functionalized polycaprolactone and a tetrathiol compound to form the microcapsule shell. To synthesize microcapsules, the tetrathiol was used in large excess, thus maintaining inside the microcapsules as the core material. The obtained microcapsules were analyzed by Fourier Transform infrared microscopy, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and laser diffraction particle size analysis. The core was extracted by Soxhlet extraction and analyzed by 1H NMR and FTIR spectroscopy.

With the development of the embedded microcapsule concept for self-healing material, the preparation of microcapsule has been paid more attentions. A new series of microcapsules were prepared by in situ polymerization technology in an oil-in-water emulsion with polyoxymethylene urea (PMU) as shell material and a mixture of epoxy resins as core material. The PMU microcapsules were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), particle size analyzer and thermo gravimetric analyzer (TGA) to investigate their chemical structure, surface morphology, size distribution and thermal stability, respectively. The results indicate that PMU microcapsules containing epoxy resins can be synthesized successfully. The optimized reaction parameters were obtained as follow: agitation rate 600 rpm, 60°C water bath, pH=3.5, core material 20ml and hot water dilution by in-situ polymerization. The size is around 116 μm. The rough outer surface of microcapsule is composed of agglomerated PMU nanoparticles. The microcapsules basically exhibit good storage stability at room temperature, and they are chemically stable before the heating temperature is up to approximately 200°C.

Three different functionalized polydimethylsiloxane based probable self-healing materials were encapsulated by oil-in-water emulsion polymerization melamine-formaldehyde (MF) microcapsules for future applications in self-healing composites systems. The diameter and morphology, thermal properties, and structural analysis of the synthesized microcapsules were determined by scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and electron dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed that nature of core material plays an important role in the morphology and thermal stability of the microcapsules.

Abstract An analytical solution to the free vibration of a damped three-layer thick sandwiched cylinder of infinite extend is presented. The constrained layer damping is accomplished by sandwiching a linear viscoelastic material between two isotropic elastic cylinders with the same properties. The governing equation is derived based on elasto-dynamic theory utilizing complex elastic moduli. Dimensionless natural frequencies and modal loss-factors are extracted. Special case for a three-layer sandwiched cylinder with similar elastic properties is considered. The computed dimensionless frequencies are compared with previously established results. The comparison indicates the validity of the proposed mathematical procedures. In addition, the effects of various values of material damping for the core layer and ratio of the core shear modulus to the shear modulus of the elastic cylinders on natural frequencies and modal loss-factors are studied. For a given configuration, modal information for the first two modes for n = 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 are presented for a wide range of core material damping and G2/G1 ratio.

Experiments were conducted to study the dispersed phase of coconut milk emulsion. They were optical microscopy analysis using a Nikon Microscope and particle size analysis using a Coulter Counter Multisizer. Particle size analysis using a Coulter Counter Multisizer on both original coconut milk and homogenized coconut milk at T = 19 °C indicated that they had a wide range of particle size with average value of 5.988 + 1 .0 pm and 6.696 + 1 . 1 pm in diameter respectively. Optical microscopy analysis showed that homogenization of coconut milk after it was heated in a water bath at T = 35 °C for about 15 minutes resulted in changes of particle size, the particle size became smaller. The result lead to a conclusion that the coconut milk emulsion may be considered as a polydisperse emulsion and it indicates that the system should not be sensitive to small variations in preparation or subsequent handling.

The self-healing polymer material which was embedded microcapsules possesses the ability to heal cracks automatically. The microcapsules were synthesized by in-situ polymerization in an oil-in-water emulsion with urea and formaldehyde as the raw shell material,and epoxy resin (E-51)/ xylene as the core material. The impact of stirring speed on the morphology and particle size of synthetic microcapsules were discussed by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR).Microcapsules of 400~1500 um in diameter were produced by appropriate selection of agitation rate in the range of 300~600 r/min.

Polymer based nanocapsule was developed using core-cell approach, where the core material was methyl diphenyl diisocyanate and the cell material was urea-formaldehyde. The synthesized capsules of 100 to 800 nm size were incorporated into sol-gel matrix to prepare a final coating for steel protection. This coating was found protecting the steel at the damage or crack locations in 3.5% NaCl solution. SEM micrographs confirmed healing of the coating at the damage or crack points.

Various studies have shown that the properties of mineral filler, especially the material passing through a 0.075-mm (No. 200) sieve (generally called P200 material), have a significant effect on the performance of asphalt paving mixtures in terms of permanent deformation, fatigue cracking, and moisture susceptibility. However, researchers have employed different characterization tests for evaluating the P200 materials. This study was undertaken to determine which P200 characterization tests are most related to the performance of asphalt paving mixtures. Six P200 materials representing a wide range of mineralogical composition and particle size were used. These P200 materials were characterized by six tests including Rigden voids, particle size analysis, and methylene blue test. Mixes were prepared with two fines to asphalt ratios (0.8 and 1.5) by weight. Mix validation tests included the Superpave shear test for evaluating permanent deformation and fatigue cracking, and the Hamburg wheel tracking test and AASHTO T283 for evaluating moisture susceptibility of the 12 mixtures containing different P200 materials and fines to asphalt ratios. The particle sizes in microns corresponding to 60 and 10 percent passing and the methylene blue test were determined to be related to the performance of asphalt paving mixtures.

Abstract In this study, microcapsules as potential candidates for self-healing agents were prepared by in situ polymerisation, taking place in oil-in-water emulsion. Poly(melamine-formaldehyde) is employed as shell material and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A as polymerisable core materials and Pentaerythritol Tetrakis(3-Mercaptopropionate) as its hardener. The geometry, shell features, size distributions, core content, and the reactivity of the microcapsules were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy (OM), Soxhlet extraction method and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Microcapsules with different sizes and distributions were obtained by adjusting the stirring speeds during the preparation stage. From the results, it was established that the spherical microcapsules fabricated using this technique, resulted in satisfactory size and shell structure with shell thickness of less than 2 μm. The microcapsules possess high core content at about 90 wt.% for each size range of microcapsules and it was also observed that the viscosity of the core content decreased at an elevated temperature. The results obtained in this work indicate that these microcapsules possess the characteristics that can be potentially used for self-healing applications.

Geochemical and geotechnical studies of soil deposits along some highways in Ondo State were investigated. Field mapping revealed an underlying basement rock suite comprising granite, granite gneiss, migmatite and schist. The geochemical analysis employed X-ray fluorescence and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) to determine the major and minor oxide geochemistry while particle size analysis test, Atterberg limit test, compaction test, specific gravity, triaxial compression test and California bearing ratio were determined following the British Standards (BS-1337). Abundances of major elements show a predominant  (43.4–61.30%),  (18.30–33.70%) and  (14.50–23.28%) constitute over 95% of the bulk chemical compositions. Other constituents include and The silica:sesquioxide ratio  of the soil shows that all sampled soil are true laterite except samples AL-1 and AF-1 (are lateritic) which correspond to samples taken from sites 1 and 3 respectively. However, the soils satisfy Federal Ministry of Works and Housing of Nigeria and AASHTO recommended standard for subgrade and subbase/base foundation construction materials, but samples AL-3, OF-2, and OF-4 need to be graded with sand or gravel to reduce its plasticity, while only sample AL-2 can serve as base course material for highway construction. It’s concluded from the results that the tested soils have more engineering applications than industrial usage since only samples from sites 1 and 3 can serve as ceramic material and brick clay provided the alumina and iron contents are reduced.  The soils in their raw state, may not be able to serve as fillers and coating materials in the paint and cosmetic industries, generally due to an amount of sand in the samples (above 50%), which makes them unsuitable.
