Rm4L Resilient Materials 4 Life

RM4L is an EPSRC funded project being undertaken by researchers at Cardiff, Bath, Bradford and Cambridge Universities. The project comprises four research themes which address: self-healing of cracks at multiple scales; self-healing of time-dependent and cyclic loading damage; self-diagnosis and immunisation against physical damage; and self-diagnosis and healing of chemical damage. These themes bring together complementary technologies using laboratory experiments, numerical modelling and site trials which, under the guidance of the project's industrial partners, will address a diverse range of applications such as cast in-situ and precast concrete, repair systems, overlays and geotechnical systems. The nature of the research is both varied and exciting, encompassing the fundamental physico-chemical actions of innovative healing systems.
