Project description
The Magnel Laboratory is very active within the research domain of self-healing materials. In current research we investigate whether self-healing of concrete cracks can prevent reinforcement corrosion. Therefore, electrochemical measurements such as monitoring corrosion potential, measuring polarization resistance,… are used. Currently a potentiostat of another research group is used but we strongly feel the need to have an own
potentiostat.
