Preparation of Self-healing Additives for Concrete via Miniemulsion Polymerization: Formulation and Production Challenges

Abstract Concrete structures undergo internal damage; this usually starts at the atomic level with defects that then grow and form cracks, which can propagate through the material. Here, a method of preparation of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanocapsules adhesive system via miniemulsion polymer...
