Abstract Self-healing materials can increase the lifetime of products and improve their sustainability. However, detection damage in an early stage is essential to avoid progression ensure a successful self-healing process. In this study, sensor composite strips were developed with embedding thermoplastic styrene-based co-polymer (TPS) matrix. Piezoresistive TPS fibers composites (SFCs) 3D prin...

Self-healing allows increasing the service life of materials by overcoming some issues caused mechanical failures. We propose a new concept to impart room-temperature self-healing properties thermoplastic elastomers. A macromolecular additive whose interacting units can interfere with hard segments elastomer accelerates chain dynamics and imparts composite material limited detrimental effect on...

Abstract Thermoplastic elastomer foams based on styrene–ethylene–butylene–styrene (SEBS)/polypropylene (PP) were produced by using different processing techniques such as extrusion and injection molding to achieve optimized mechanical thermal properties in terms of strength, elongation, damping capability. Foaming is a method introducing gas-filled cells into the material it considered an effec...
