Using self-healing materials in commercial applications requires healing chemistry that is cost-effective, widely available and tolerant of moderate temperature excursions. We investigate the use of tungsten (VI) chloride as a catalyst precursor for the ring-opening metathesis polymerization of exo-dicyclopentadiene (exo-DCPD)

Degradation of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) to carbon dioxide and oxygenated intermediates was established in the laboratory. Screening of many inocula using BIOLOGMT plates showed that no single colony isolate readily mineralized DCPD. Mixed cultures from a variety of environmental sources produced

Microencapsulated healing agents that possess adequate strength, long shelf-life and excellent bonding to the host material are required for self-healing materials. Urea-formaldehyde microcapsules containing dicyclopentadiene were prepared by in situ polymerization in an oil-in-water emulsion that meet these requirements for
