Nanocapsules for self-healing materials

We report an in situ encapsulation method demonstrating over an order of magnitude size reduction for the preparation of urea–formaldehyde (UF) capsules filled with a healing agent, dicyclopentadiene (DCPD). Capsules with diameters as small as 220 nm are achieved using sonication techniques and an u...

description We report an in situ encapsulation method demonstrating over an order of magnitude size reduction for the preparation of urea–formaldehyde (UF) capsules filled with a healing agent, dicyclopentadiene (DCPD). Capsules with diameters as small as 220 nm are achieved using sonication techniques and an ultrahydrophobe to stabilize the DCPD droplets. The capsules possess a uniform UF shell wall (77 nm average thickness) and display good thermal stability. By controlling the ζ-potential, the capsules are uniformly dispersed in an epoxy matrix and shown to cleave rather than debond upon fracture of the matrix. Mechanical properties of the epoxy/capsule composite, including mode-I fracture toughness, elastic modulus, and ultimate tensile strength are measured and compared to previous data for larger capsules (ca. 180 μm).
