Many approaches to protecting concrete surface from various deterioration factors have been studied. A typical approach is to use protective coatings. However, when cracks form and propagate in protective coatings for concrete, chloride ion, carbon dioxide and water would penetrate through the cracks, resulting in reduction in serviceability of concrete. If the protective coatings have self-healing ability they can effectively protect the concrete surface from the deterioration factors. In this work we have developed self-healing protective coatings for concrete surface in which cracks formed can be healed by light. |
