Abstract
In this work, we report for the first time the manufacturing and characterization of smart multifunctional, capsule-based self-healing and self-sensing composites. In detail, neat and nanomodified UF microcapsules were synthesized and incorporated into composites with a nanomodified epoxy matrix for the restoration of the mechanical and electrical properties. The electrical properties were evaluated with the use of the impedance spectroscopy method. The self-healing composites were subjected to mode-II fracture toughness tests. Additionally, the lap strap geometry that can simulate the mechanical behavior of a stiffened panel was used. The introduction of the nanomodified self-healing system improved the initial mechanical properties in the mode-II fracture toughness by +29%, while the values after the healing process exceeded the initial one. At lap strap geometry, the incorporation of the self-healing system did not affect the initial mechanical properties that were fully recovered after the healing process.
