Accelerating autonomic healing of cementitious composites by using nano calcium carbonate coated polypropylene fibers

Fibers can enhance self-healing of concrete by restricting crack propagation and supplying nucleation sites in cracks. To further improve the self-healing effect of fiber concrete, a new strategy of fiber modification for self-healing is proposed herein. In this study, polypropylene (PP) fibers were...
