    Self-Healing Polymer Nanocomposites: A Comprehensive Review of Design Strategies, Mechanisms, and Emerging Applications

    By Ankush Kumar Jain, Akash Panwar

    Abstract: Self-healing polymer nanocomposites (SHPNs) are a new class of materials that can autonomously repair themselves to prolong their lifetime and improve their application performance. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview of the design strategies, healing mechanisms, and emerging applications of SHPNs. Incorporating nanofillers (nanoparticles, nanofibers, and/or nanotubes) into polymer matrices leads to requisite functionalization that significantly enhances mechanical properties and is essential in self-healable products including improved cross-linking, high dispersion, …

    Enhancing Concrete Durability and Mechanical Properties for Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC) Roads Using Basalt Fiber Reinforcement

    By Anuj Shukla, Ravindra Budania, Vikas Pandey, Shahnawaz Ahmed Mir, Ankush Kumar Jain, Saurabh Singh

    Abstract: Concrete, by nature, is brittle and has a very low tensile capacity, which is a double whammy in transportation infrastructure, such as pavement quality concrete (PQC), for roadways, where we need durability and strength. One such method is the use of basalt fibre, as it is a much better way of enhancing the road runway way performance of concrete. This research studies the impact of the addition of basalt fibres …
