A Brief Study about Bio Inspired Self-Curing Composites

The purpose of this technical paper is to sort the methodology in line with ongoing research efforts in Bio-inspired composites. A perspective on current and future self-curing approaches using this biomimetic technique is offered. The self-curing material paves the way for longer-lasting components while also avoiding catastrophic breakdowns. The ability of humans to cure things has led to a number of studies on self-curing composites: A quantum leap into enhanced material behavior. The rate of damage versus rate of curing is consequently a determinant of curative proficiency. Over the last few decades, tremendous development has been achieved in composite materials, production processes, and structural design. Nonetheless, composite materials are restricted in all engineering disciplines due to their susceptibility to various types of defects during the manufacturing stage, such as porosity, foreign body inclusion, incorrect fiber volume, bonding defect, fiber misalignment, ply misalignment, incorrect curing cycle, wavy fiber, ply cracking, delamination, fiber microstructural defects, and so on. As a result, solutions to overcome these faults during the service life of composites utilized in diverse structures and equipment were required.

This potential field of research has made significant progress in recent years, but there are still many procedural hurdles to overcome, and there is an urgent need for concentrated research to address a number of areas of concern. Nature, on the other hand, has materials that have the ability to heal and restore themselves, assuring their survival. New curing chemicals with improved stability and faster kinetics will emerge as a result of continued research in the field. The precise placement of curing agents is a hot research topic at the forefront of self-curing. Vascular networks are strongly linked to new bio-imitative curative medicines.
