Mechanical Properties of Self-Healing System in Cementitious Material with Microcapsule

Abstract:

In this paper, several urea–formaldehyde/epoxy microcapsules with different particle sizes were synthesized by in-situ polymerization. The chemical structure and compressive rupture load of microcapsule were characterized. The effect of microcapsule dosage, particle size and preload pressure on compressive strength of cementitious materials was studied. The result shows: when the particle size of microcapsule is 2 mm~2.5 mm, the rupture load of microcapsule is highest, more than 3N; When the microcapsule dosage is less than 2.5%, the strength loss of the matrix is relatively small; With the increase of the particle size of the capsule, the strength of the matrix decrease greatly; When the dosage of microcapsule is 2.5%, the particle size is 1.5 mm and the preload pressure is 30%~45%f_max, the compressive strength of the self-healing specimen is 8% higher than that of the non-preloaded specimens, which shows a certain self-healing performance.
