Self-healing of open cracks in asphalt mastic
Alvaro Garcia,Alvaro Garcia +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it is explained that the changes in the self-healing rates with temperature can be related by means of the Arrhenius equation, and an apparent activation energy for healing is needed.

Effect of polymer architecture on the intrinsic self-healing character of polymers
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of polymer architecture on the intrinsic healing character of polymeric materials using different reversible chemistries has been investigated and highlighted the need for more studies on this particular topic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heating asphalt mixtures with microwaves to promote self-healing
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of a research into the technical viability of heating asphalt mixtures with microwaves and how the microwaves influence the heating process of the different variables involved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction healing of asphalt mastic and porous asphalt concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the authors detect the healing effect of asphalt mastic and porous asphalt concrete caused by induction heating and conclude that the self healing rate of both mastic beams and asphalt concrete can be increased by induction heat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction healing of dense asphalt concrete
Alvaro Garcia,Moises Bueno,Jose Norambuena-Contreras,Jose Norambuena-Contreras,Manfred N. Partl,Manfred N. Partl +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, different mixtures, with different lengths, quantities and diameters of steel wool fibres have been considered, and a semi-empirical model, explaining asphalt healing through the capillary theory has been developed and fitted to the results.
