Study on the crack self-healing performance of nano-micro silica modified hydrogel by MA Mengyang, LI Ting, WANG Tie, LONG Yong, SU Ying, YANG Jin

“…This enabled the cracked samples to have a lower gas permeability coefficient, especially under 0.3 mm wide cracks, showing a more explicit healing effect; (2) For 0.1 mm narrow cracks, hydrogels already exhibited good crack healing effects at a low dosage of 1 %, while for 0.3 mm wide cracks, hydrogels only demonstrated a higher healing efficiency at a high dosage of 3 %; (3) Either under wide crack or narrow crack conditions, the gas permeability of cracked samples containing larger initial particle size hydrogels was significantly lower than that of smaller particle size samples, indicating that hydrogel with larger particle size has better crack healing ability.…”
