PVA fiber is a synthetic polymer identified by high hydrophilicity, moderate modulus of flexibility, and strong interfacial ...

Concrete cracks are no small matter. Over time, these fractures can grow, letting in water, gas, and pollution.

Potholes do more than slow us down, they're also a drag on the economy. Municipalities are spending millions more than they used to on potholes, and that is being passed on to taxpayers and drivers.

Additional research is also underway to develop self-healing concrete using sustainable materials. It's a better approach, after all, than using AI to detect potholes.

Date 11/29/2024 1:16:36 AM (MENAFN - Straits Research) Introduction The global Self-Healing Concrete market Size was valued at USD 26.32 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow from USD 33.87 ...

Now, though, engineers have developed a new type of concrete that can bend under pressure, heat itself, and even repair its own cracks. This bendable concrete could drastically improve durability ...

According to Dr. Masic’s research, these lime clasts were actually reservoirs of calcium that helped fill in cracks, making the concrete self-healing.
