Self-healing of structural carbon fibres in polymer composites

Carbon fibre–reinforced composites (CFRCs) are increasingly used in aeroplanes, satellites and offshore wind turbines. Access those systems for repair when the material is damaged may be difficult. Researchers have incorporated vascular systems containing healing agents into CFRCs, enabling them aut...
