Containers for Self-healing/Self-repairing Polymers

Autonomous-healing and smart anti-corrosion mechanism of polyurethane embedded with a novel synthesized microcapsule containing sodium dodecyl sulfate as a corrosion inhibitor

“…15,16 The most important part of this technique is the right selection of material for both shell and an incorporated agent inside the capsule. 17,18 Variety of materials have been used for the core part of the capsule such as drying oil, 19,20 pore blocking agents 21,22 and corrosion inhibitors. 23,24 At the same time, different types of shells such as polyurea, 25 epoxy, 26–28 polyurethane 29,30 and poly(urea-formaldehyde) 31–33 could be synthesized.…”
