Efficiency of self-healing cementitious materials with encapsulated polyurethane to reduce water ingress through cracks

Efficiency of self-healing cementitious materials with encapsulated polyurethane to reduce water ingress through cracks

Cracks in reinforced concrete elements can cause major durability issues due do the accelerated ingress of aggressive substances. In this study, repair of cracks was addressed by incorporating encapsulated polyurethane based healing agents in the cementitious material as an autonomous healing mechan...
