The concept of introducing self-healing capabilities in polymer materials and systems has been based on mimicking biological self-healing materials and systems, for example, materials like proteins have phenomenal capabilities in self-healing damaged biological structures. This work has been extended to investigate self-healing capabilities of fibre reinforced epoxy composites. Microencapsulated epoxy and mercaptan healing agents were incorporated into a glass fibre reinforced epoxy matrix to produce a polymer composite capable of self-healing. The specimens containing the microencapsulated epoxy and mercaptan healing agents did gain excellent strength and achieved a healing efficiency up to 140%.

The goal of our research was to develop a continuous glass fibre-reinforced epoxy matrix self-sensing composite. A fibre bundle arbitrarily chosen from the reinforcing glass fabric in the composite was prepared to guide white light. The power of the light transmitted by the fibres changes as a result of tensile loading. In our research, we show that a selected fibre bundle even without any special preparation can be used as a sensor to detect deformation even before the composite structure is damaged (before fibre breaking).

Glass Fibre Reinforced

Use of composite laminates is found in various applications such as aircraft and automotive, sports, rocket parts and civil structures. Resin system of the polymer composites enacts a crucial role of binding the reinforcements properly to provide good mechanical properties. The presence of any kind of filler alters the properties of resin system which in turn also alters the mechanical behaviour of composite laminate. In the present work an attempt has been made to enhance the mechanical performance of glass fibre epoxy composites by embedding nano calcium carbonate particles in resin system. These particles were added in different weight fractions like 1, 3 and 5% and the response of GFRP nano composites were recorded under flexural and shear loads. Composite laminates with 3% wt. of nano particles have shown considerable improvement among the other laminates.
