5. NANO-GEL BASED SELF-HEALING SYSTEMIn this chapter we have presented a new concept which is un<strong>de</strong>r research for the moment. Taking acue from the monomer la<strong>de</strong>n microcapsule based self-healing approach 1 ; we have planned to replacethe monomer by a rapidly healing nano-gel will be encapsulated in a hydrophobic shell and dispersedinto the membrane. In an event of crack formation, the breakage of the microcapsule’s wall will lead thewater to contact the gel. This would cause a rapid expansion of the nano-gel however due to its inherentcrosslinked structure; it should be able to maintain its structural integrity. Furthermore, being higlyhydrophilic, the gel is expected to show good adhesive properties and thereby check the growth of thecrack.Figure – 5.1: Embedding of encapsulated nano-gel in the active layer of a membrane.
