Abstract
For many applications, the advanced self-healing plastics that can attain the complete strength recovery are valuable; because these are anticipated to exhibit actively ensure the structural integrity. In the present study, employing the composite consists of continuous aramid fiber having thermal contraction ability and epoxy resin in which microencapsulated dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) as healing agent and Grubbs catalyst are dispersed as typical model of the self-healing plastic attaining complete strength recovery, the exothermal behavior of self-healing reaction and the crack closure due to thermal shrinkage of aramid fibers were discussed.
