Design and optimization parameters of cement-based spherical macrocapsules for self-healing cement applications

Encapsulated healing agents is a promising solution for extending the service life of critical infrastructure, providing long-term efficiency. This research focuses on shell properties cement-based spherical macro-capsules, aiming to achieve increased survivability during mixing mortar mixtures and efficient triggering upon crack propagation. In this framework, pan coating technique was examined production capsules with cementitious shell, developed protection powder agents. The main that were studied included crushing load as function size hydration facilitated by different setting accelerators, their consequent effect efficiency capsules. results show use accelerators allows rapid densification microstructure improves capsules, resulting in high process. enhanced compatibility matrix allowed propagation, initiating autonomous
