Abstract
a facile functionalization approach. The highest healing efficiency evaluated using double cantilever beam (DCB) tests was observed as ∼87% with more than 10 times repeated healing cycles. The innovative concept and strategy proposed in this work could be a gateway to a new area of research to upscale for industrialization of DA-based repetitive self-healable and durable CFRP-based composites.
