Additional information

Damage tolerance of composite structures is key design driver in many engineering applications. Self-healing is possible means of mitigating crack growth by both blunting and adhering crack faces. Paper provides first demonstration of compression strength recovery following impact of composite sandwich structure, via effusion of liquid healing agent from embedded vascular network. Work led to Bond's invitation as conference co-chair [tinyurl.com/gen-eng-18] and keynote presenter [tinyurl.com/gen-eng-128] at the Second International Conference on Self-Healing Materials (Chicago, 2009). Paper is in top 3% of most-cited in journal within REF period (Web of Science 14/3/2013).
