A theory crack healing in polymers
Richard P. Wool,K. M. O’Connor +1 more
TL;DR: A theory of crack healing in polymers is presented in this paper in terms of the stages of crack recovery, namely, surface rearrangement, surface approach, wetting, diffusion, and randomization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-healing materials: a review
TL;DR: The relationship of material damage to material healing is examined in a manner to provide an understanding of the kinetics and damage reversal processes necessary to impart self-healing characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and application of triglyceride‐based polymers and composites
Shrikant Khot,John J. LaScala,Erde Can,Shantaram S. Morye,George I. Williams,Giuseppe R. Palmese,Selim H. Küsefoğlu,Richard P. Wool +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the tensile and flexural properties of natural and synthetic fiber-reinforced composite materials are compared. And the results show that the properties exhibited by both the natural-and synthetic fiber reinforced composites can be combined through the production of hybrid composite materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
A theory of healing at a polymer-polymer interface

Journal ArticleDOI
Natural fiber composites with plant oil-based resin
TL;DR: In this paper, the composite panels made by room temperature cure with natural fiber reinforcement of about 10-50 wt% increased the flexural modulus to a range between 1.5 and 6 GPa depending on the nature of the fiber mat.
