In the present study, crack healing effect and residual stress of $Al_2O_3$ ceramics were investigated by changing the sintering temperature and heat treatment conditions. And also it was investigated that the influence of different filler loadings of nano-sized SiC particles on the crack healing behavior of $Al_2O_3$ ceramics. The test samples were characterized by three point bend flexural tests to evaluate their mechanical properties. The morphological changes were studied by FE-SEM and EDS. The test results indicated that the $Al_2O_3$ with nano-sized SiC ceramics sintered at $1800^{\circ}C$ were showed highest density. Sintering temperature at $1800^{\circ}C$, the bending strength of heat treatment in air atmosphere specimens showed about 42 % increment in comparison to the un-heat treated specimens. The cracked specimens can be healed by heat treatment in vacuum atmosphere but the crack healing effect of $Al_2O_3$ ceramics, which is heat treated in air atmosphere was higher than that of heat treated in vacuum atmosphere. $Al_2O_3$ with 30 wt% of SiC ceramics indicated higher crack healing ability than that with 15 wt% of SiC ceramics. The FE-SEM images showed that the median cracks and pores were disappeared after heat treatment in air.

Engineering ceramics have superior heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. Consequently, these art significant candidates for hot-section structural components of heat engine and the inner containment of nuclear fusion reactor. Besides, some of them have the ability to heal cracks and great benefit can be anticipated with great benefit the structural engineering field. Especially, law fracture toughness of ceramics supplement with self-healing ability. In the present study, we have been noticed some practically important points for the healing behavior of silicon nitride, alumina, mullite with SiC particle and whisker. The presence of silicon carbide (SiC) in ceramic compound is very important for crack-healing behavior. However, self-healing of SiC has not been investigated well in detail yet. In this study, commercial SiC was selected as sample, which can be anticipated in the excellent crack healing ability. The specimens were produced three-point bending specimen with a critical semi-circular crack of which size that is about $50-700{\mu}m$. Three-point bending test and static fatigue test were performed cracked and healed SiC specimens. A monotonic bending load was applied to cracked specimens by three-point loading at different temperature. The purpose of this paper is to report Strength Properties and Elastic Waves Characteristics of Silicon Carbide with Crack Healing Ability.

자가치유형 아스팔트를 구현하기 위하여 분자간결합력이 큰 고분자를 아스팔트에 투입시켰다. 사용된 고분자는 셜린, 나일론 및 폴리에스터이다. 이 고분자들은 가공온도가 $200^{\circ}C$를 넘어 고체상태로는 투입이 어려워 용액상태로 첨가하였다. 고분자가 첨가된 아스팔트들은 우수한 개질효과와 치유효과를 나타내었다. 인장강도에서 고분자개질아스팔트들은 고분자가 5% 투입되었으나 강도는 18%이상 증가하였다. 고분자와 아스팔트분자 간에 상호작용이 있는 것으로 보인다. 특히 셜린과의 분자간결합력이 가장 큰 것으로 보인다. 셜린은 아스팔트와 수소결합 및 아스팔트내에 존재하는 금속들과 이온결합을 할 것이다. 치유성에 있어서는 인장강도 면에서 셜린이 가장 높은 138%의 치유능을 나타내었으며 복합모듈러스 면에서는 폴리에스터가 141%의 치유능을, 충격강도 면에서는 나일론이 131%의 치유능을 보였다. 이는 치유능 해석에서 고분자의 분자간결합력도 중요 사항이지만 고분자와 아스팔트간의 상호작용 또한 중요한 고려 사항이 되어야함을 의미한다.

Epidermal growth factor(EGF), a potential healing agent for wounds and burns, has been formulated to topical gels with the hydrophilic polymers, Carbopol 934P. Physicochemical c haracteristics of the aqueous gels were evaluated by rheological properties and pH changes on storage. The gels were relatively stable at $4^{\circ}C$ and room temperature showing no changes in pH for two weeks, and revealed the rheogram of shear thinning plastic flow with the yield values in the range of 40 to 70dyne/$cm^2$. In vivo healing effects of different gel formulations have been compared with water-soluble and oleaginous ointments in full-thickness wound mouse model. The gel systems resulted in better wound healing effects than the other ointments. Furthermore, liposomal Carbopol gel has been developed by the addition of EGF-containing liposomal suspension into the Carbopol gel. The enhanced wound healing effects have been observed in the liposomal gel system, compared to the other gels and conventional ointments.

The inner crack-like pore with controlled amount of Ca impurity in the high purity alumina single crystal sapphire had been created by micro-fabrication technique which includes ion implanation photo-lithography Ar ion milling and hot press technique. The crack-like pores in two-hour hot pressed specimen were extremely stable even after heat treating at 1,80$0^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours almost no healing was observed. But the crack-like pores in one-hour hot pressed specimen at 1,30$0^{\circ}C$ were healed by heat treatment and the amount of healing was increased with the heat treatment time and temperature and the amount of Ca addition. The edges of crack-like pore parallel to <1100> direction in (001) basal plane were stable but the edges normal to this direction in (00101) plane <1120> direction were unstable to facetting This means that the surface energy of alumina along the <1100> direction in (0001) basal plane in much lower than <1120> direction.

Two different diene monomers [dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) and 5-ethylidene-2-norbomene (ENB)] as self­healing agent for polymeric composites were microencapsuled by in-situ polymerization of urea and formaldehyde. The healing agents were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Exothermic reaction and glass transition temperature from DSC and storage modulus (G') and tan $\delta$ from DMA curves were analyzed for the samples cured for 5 min and 24 h in the presence of different amounts of catalyst. Micorcapsules were successfully formed for both diene monomers. Microcapsules containing the healing agent were manufactured and its thermal properties were characterized by thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). Optical microscope (OM) and particle size analyzer (PSA) were employed to observe morphology and size distribution of microcapsules, respectively. Comparison of the two self-healing agents and their microcapsules with the two was made in this study.

Purpose: Healthcare is on the whole a personal and critical service that consumer's use, whereas hospitalization is as a rule painful, because nature nurtures and Sun Light Luminosity for healthcare settings is considered healing. The performance and design of climate responsive buildings such as AKU requires a detailed study of attributes of climate both at micro as well as macro level. The therapeutic value of contact with nature through window view, greenery and landscape is calculated there. Method: A two prong strategy is been devised for this article, at micro level three typical morphologies are analysed by creating same environment of neighboring building on sun shading chart, radiation and temperature range. Since the analysis of local climate helps to determine the design strategies for hospital Healing Environment which is suitable for Karachi climate; in order to track the macro climatic behaviour, a considerable analysis of psychometrics chart for AKU Karachi are designed on Climate Consultant (CC) and analysed by Machine Learning. Climate Consultant proposes different design strategies suitable for Karachi. And on the other hand time wise illumination sources for clinical area which are then measured on psychrometric chart- according to singular space: multi patient admission, secondly: acute ambulatory ward, and tertiary: multi windowed space according to the mushrabiyah and sky light pattern. Result: Our findings support the hypothesis that windowed wall is 75-80% more healing wall; an accelerated evidence was found for healing at macro level if the form of the hospital is designed according to the climatologically preferences, whereas at micro level: the light resource becomes the staff attentiveness determinant. In Conclusion evidence was provided that the actual form of luminosity results consequently in satisfaction while light entering from several set of windows and other sources might be valued if design according to the healing environment. The data added on the sun shading chart to calculate rays entraining into space in patient room equal to 124416.21 Watts/ meter $m^2$ is calculated as precise healing rate-and is confirmed by questionnaire from patients belonging from each clinical stage having different illnesses.

자기치유 콘크리트는 직접적인 보수보강 없이도 스스로 구조물의 균열을 치유하여 효율적으로 콘크리트 구조물의 수명연장이 가능하다는 측면에서 각광받고 있다. 현재 자기치유 콘크리트는 전 세계적으로 활발히 연구가 진행되고 있는 분야이지만 대부분의 연구는 치유 성능의 향상에 초점을 맞추고 있기 때문에 객관적으로 치유성능을 평가하는 방법은 부족한 실정이다. 자기치유 콘크리트의 성능평가에 활용하기 위해 기체확산실험 방법이 개발된 바가 있지만, 시편의 포화도 및 실험시의 온습도 등과 같은 환경조건의 통제가 필요하다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기체 확산 실험시에 필요한 환경조건을 대폭 완화하여 적용성을 향상시키고자 하였다. 아울러 실험시간을 단축시키고자 사전 안정화 과정을 도입하였고, 약 20분이내의 실험시간에서 3%이내의 오차 수준으로 균열폭의 추정이 가능하였다.
