Abstract

Capsule-based self-healing polymer composites have been studied extensively for the past decade. Most of the self-healing capsules are made from the synthetic polymer formaldehyde. Exposure to this polymer can cause severe health issues and often, the capsule synthesis process involves complicated procedure which is temperature and pH sensitive. This study focuses on developing a self-healing biocapsule by using alginate biopolymer to encapsulate the monomer. Two fabrication methods are being discussed and electrostatic extrusion method successfully produces epoxy/alginate microcapsules with a mean diameter of 320 ± 20 μm. FTIR tests are performed to study the chemical interaction between alginate and encapsulated epoxy resin.
