Effect of Microbiological Growth Components for Bacteria-Based Self-Healing on the Properties of Cement Mortar

. . Chen X, Yuan J, Alazhari M. . Materials (Basel). 2019 Apr 20;12(8):1303. doi: 10.3390/ma12081303. Abstract Previous studies of bacteria-based self-healing concrete have shown that it is necessary to encapsulate and separate the self-healing ingredients (bacteria, nutrients, and precursors) in the concrete so that when a crack forms, capsules rupture, which allows the self-healing …
