Resumen:
The objective of this work was to study the effect of incorporating a microencapsulated healing agent, dicyclopentadiene, in an epoxy-amine matrix. For this, first the suitable formulation for this type of material was selected based on the study the rheological and mechanical properties of various chemical systems. Different amounts of microcapsules were incorporated, the most appropriate processing method (mixing, curing and post-curing cycle) was evaluated. Furthermore, flexural and fracture tests were carried out and the distribution of the capsules as well as the interfacial adhesion with the epoxy matrix were studied.
