Concepts: Encapsulation Autonomic healing After reaction it is over
Concepts: Remendable cross-links Diels Alder U-py Metal Complex Combinations
Concepts: Remendable cross-links Diels Alder U-py Metal Complex Combinations
Concepts: Remendable cross-links Diels Alder U-py Metal Complex Combinations
Concepts: Remendable cross-links Diels Alder U-py Metal Complex Combinations Multiple healing Possibilities Not autonomically
Concepts: Interdiffusion Only amorphous polymer Competition between interdiffusion and crosslink Very slow
Biomimetic approach Autonomic healing It’s over when fibre breaks
Biomimetic approach Controlled release of growth-factors Hydrogel instead of microcapsules Site specific How to detect a crack?

Opportunities Microcapsules: finetuning Interdiffusion: Low T g Polymers Biomimetic: Unbreakable porous hollow fibres. Remendable Crosslinks: Dye a U-pyDye a U-py

Focus: Cross-links with dyes Detection systems
Why Dye? Present research: a fluorescent dye on U-py Our idea: Energy dissipating dye! Also possible for Diels-Alder crosslinks
Detection Microcapsules detect – repair – capsule broken Crosslinks repair – repair again Weakest point multiple-healing-systems: no detection
Piezo elements
