Project description
The main goal of hte project is to use compartmented fibres as alternative carriers for healing agents in fibre-reinforced polymeric thermosets instead of the currently used microcapsules. The main reason for this shift is that the fibres act as a filter for the microcapsules, this preventigng a homogeneous distribution of the capsules in the material.
