Influence of Electromagnetic Inductive Microcapsules on Self-Healing Ability of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) Mortar.

ABSTRACT: In order to promote the sustainability of cementitious materials, it is imperative to reduce the level of environmental pollution and energy consumption during their production, as well as extend the service life of building elements. This study utilized limestone, calcined clay and gypsum as supplementary cementitious materials to prepare LC3 mortar, replacing 50% of ordinary silicate cement. Three types of microcapsules (M1, M2 and M3) were prepared using IPDI as a healing agent and polyethylene wax, polyethylene wax/nano-CaCO₃ or polyethylene wax/ferrous powder as shell materials. The microcapsules were added to the LC3 mortar and tested for their effects on the mechanical properties, pore structure and permeability of mortars. Pre-loaded and pre-cracked mortar specimens were
