This study investigated the self-healing properties of blast furnace slag cement paste sample with $Na_2SO_4$ as a blast furnace slag activator after conducting the permeability test. Self-healing properties were examined by crack filling ratio and quantification of self-healing products. The degree of self-healing was evaluated by the crack filling ratio, and the crack filling ratio was analyzed by panoramic analysis using BSE-DIP for objectivity. The average crack filling ratio showed a tendency of decreasing from the upper part of the specimen to the lower part as the average of the top part was 18%, the middle part was 7% and the bottom part was 5% on average. The maximum crack filling ratio was 44% and the minimum crack filling ratio was 3%. The residual self-healing product after the permeability test contained a large amount of Ca element and Al element derived from the blast furnace slag, and the Si element was mainly present near the crack surface. The most abundant minerals in self-healing products were about 68% C-A-H. $CaCO_3$ was about 13% and C-A-S-H was about 8%. Three minerals accounted for 90% of self-healing products. C-A-H was mainly present at a part slightly distant from the crack surface and showed an angular or acicular shape. The C-A-S-H was generated on the surface naturally connected to the existing specimen, and the $CaCO_3$ was generally observed on the surface of the specimen or the inside of the crack.

The waste FRP occured in the fabrication of SMC (sheet molding compound) bathtubs and the waste polyurethane foam occured in electronic manufacture and waste insulator were applied as a soundproof and light weight pannel in the waste FRP unsaturated polyester matrix resin composites to recycle. The effect of filler contents on the mechanical properties and interfacial phenomena of the filler and matrix on the composites was evaluated. The tensile strength of composites reached its maximum value of 82.34 MPa when the filler content was 70 wt%, and the more content of reinforcement is increased, the more tensile modulus was decreased. The flexural strength and modulus of composites, reinforced 70 wt% with filler content, were dominant compared to the other samples to 72.5 MPa, 958.4 MPa respectively. When composite of reinforced 70 wt% with filler content, it was confirmed that pull out phenomena and cracks did not occur in the interface of reinforcement and matrix resin through the SEM observation. Also, waste FRP and urethane foam were dispersed well into matrix resin as filler.
