About this document

Self-Healing in Metal Matrix Composites by Anna Lucci de Martinez is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes research on self-healing materials, including polymers, ceramics, and metals. It discusses how self-healing polymers have been created using hollow fibers filled with resin that leaks out to heal cracks. Research has also focused on creating self-healing ceramics by embedding glass fibers filled with sealants in concrete. For metals, shape memory alloys in the form of particles or wires embedded in a matrix have shown promise for imparting self-healing abilities through heat-activat
