Effect of microcapsule size on the performance of self-healing polymers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the influence of microcapsule diameter and crack size on the performance of self-healing materials and found that the amount of liquid that microcapsules deliver to a crack face is shown to scale linearly with micro-capule diameter for a given weight fraction of capsules.
