Abstract

The assessment of repair or self healing for advanced materials and novel coating systems can be performed using electrochemical methods or physicochemical methods. In this chapter the authors review the literature both inside and outside the field of self healing materials on a range of characterisation techniques that can be used for determining the level of self healing. Techniques include direct measurement of healing, vibrational, electron and optical spectroscopies, particle techniques and tomographic techniques. Limitations and pitfalls in the use of these techniques for determining the level of healing are also discussed.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This is the case for non-medical CT, however medical and small animal CT scanners rotate the X-ray source and detector around the stationary person or animal to achieve the same result.

  2. 2.

    The data presented here is from the same study as reported elsewhere, however, the slice thickness is narrower than the previous report. For this reason the largest cluster size reported here is much smaller as a result of the largest cluster dimension being larger than the slice dimension.
