Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Engineering constructions suffer from corrosion and cracking issues and the resulting increased cost of maintenance, for which self-healing materials are regarded as an ideal solution due to their unique and prominent properties, such as spontaneous anticorrosion or recovery. They are usually divided into four major categories: intrinsic self-healing materials, capsule-based self-healing materials, bacterial-based self-healing materials, and vascular self-healing materials. Researchers and practitioners have shown that self-healing materials can extend the lifetime and reduce the maintenance cost of constructions. However, in practice, there is a wide range of debated or even conflicting properties of self-healing materials worth digging into.

This Special Issue on “Anticorrosion and Recovery Properties of Self-Healing Materials” aims to compile and discuss state-of-the-art research on self-healing materials focusing on their properties of corrosion resistance and restoration. Its main scope covers but is not limited to the following topics:

  • Preparation of novel self-healing materials;
  • Optimization of preparation approaches of self-healing materials;
  • Evaluation of anticorrosion properties of self-healing materials;
  • Evaluation of recovery properties of self-healing materials;
  • Self-healing mechanisms;
  • Application of self-healing materials in a special engineering environment.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit your original research articles or review articles to this Special Issue. Both experimental and theoretical works are also welcome.

One of the most roller cement concrete pavement failures of pavement is the formation of first cracks. The roughness of its completed surface after the installation has restricted the usage of this pavement. Therefore, engineers increase the quality of service of this pavement by placing a layer of asphalt coating; The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of particle size and type of chip seal aggregates on filling cracks in rolled concrete pavement. Accordingly, rolled concrete samples with chip seal covering were prepared with various aggregates (limestone, steel slag, and copper slag). Then, the influence of temperature on its self-healing ability was tested by putting the samples in the microwave device for cracking improvements. With the aid of Design Expert Software and image processing, the Response Surface Method reviewed the data analysis. Even though due to the study’s limitations, a constant mixing design was applied, the results of this study indicate that the amount of crack filling and repair in specimens slag is higher than that of aggregate materials. With the increase of steel and copper slag, 50% of repair and crack repair at 30 °C, the temperature is 27.13% and 28.79%, respectively, and at 60 °C, the temperature is 58.7% and 59.4%, respectively.

Wellbore-plugging materials are threatened by challenging plugging and abandonment (P&A) conditions. Hence, the integrity and resilience of these materials and their ability to provide sufficient zonal isolation in the long-term are unknown. The present work focuses on investigating the potential to use zeolites as novel additives to the commonly used Class-H cement. Using four different zeolite–cement mixtures (0%, 5%, 15% and 30%, by weight of cement) where samples were cast as cylinders and cured at 90 °C and 95% relative humidity, the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) testing showed a 41% increase with the 5% ferrierite addition to the Class-H cement in comparison to neat Class-H cement. For triaxial compression tests at 90 °C, the highest strength achieved by the 5% ferrierite-added formulations was 68.8 MPa in comparison to 62.9 MPa for the neat Class-H cement. The 5% ferrierite formulation also showed the lowest permeability, 13.54 μD, which is in comparison to 49.53 μD for the neat Class-H cement. The overall results show that the 5% ferrierite addition is the most effective at improving the mechanical and petrophysical properties based on a water/cement ratio of 0.38 when tested after 28 days of curing in 95% relative humidity and 90 °C. Our results not only demonstrate that zeolite is a promising cement additive that could improve the long-term strength and petrophysical properties of cement formulations, but also provide a proposed optimal formulation that could be next utilized in a field trial.
