    Patent number: 9108364
    Abstract: A composite material includes a solid polymer matrix, a plurality of capsules and a liquid, in the capsules. The liquid includes from 50 to 100 wt % of a solvent, and from 0 to 50 wt % of a polymerizer. There is no polymerizer outside of the capsules. The solid polymer matrix may include a native activating moiety for the polymerizer. The solvent may have a swelling ratio with the solid polymer matrix of at least 1.1 and/or may have a polarity ET of from 0.10 to 0.50.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 27, 2008
    Date of Patent: August 18, 2015
    Assignee: Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois
