Summary: Damage healing in fiber reinforced thermoset polymer composites can be achieved through intrinsic healing of the polymer itself or extrinsic healing by incorporating external healing agent. In this study, a hybrid extrinsic-intrinsic self-healing strategy was proposed to heal delamination in laminated thermoset polymer composites induced by low velocity impact. By using a novel vitrimer powder as the external healing agent, the laminate exhibited multifunctionalities including repeated delamination healing, excellent shape memory effect, improved toughness and impact tolerance, and decent fire-proof properties. The results showed high delamination healing efficiencies and recovery stress, indicating great potential in various engineering applications.

Summary: This paper presents the viscoelastic properties of new hybrid hydrogels containing PVA, HPC, BSA, and GSH. The hydrogels form a weak network due to partial BSA unfolding in the presence of GSH after heating. By applying freezing/thawing cycles, a stable porous network structure with elastic properties is designed, and the hydrogels exhibit self-healing abilities. The effects of BSA content, deformation, and temperature on the self-healing ability are discussed.
