Performance of epoxy resin as self-healing agent

Formation of cracks due to the shrinkage effects during curing and mechanical loading can deteriorate the concrete performance especially in terms of durability aspect. Chemical and harsh solutions will easily penetrate into the concrete and cause damage to the concrete. In order to solve this probl...
