The concept of an autonomic self-healing material, where initiation of repair is integral to the material, is now being considered for engineering applications. This bio-inspired concept offers the designer an ability to incorporate secondary functional materials capable of counteracting service degradation whilst still achieving the primary, usually structural, requirement. Most materials in nature are themselves self-healing composite materials. This paper reviews the various self-healing technologies currently being developed for fiber reinforced polymeric composite materials, most of which are bioinspired; inspired by observation of nature. The most recent self-healing work has attempted to mimic natural healing using more detailed study of natural processes. A perspective on current and future self-healing approaches using this biomimetic technique is offered. The intention is to stimulate debate and reinforce the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in this exciting field.
Self-healing polymers are smart materials that have the capability to repair themselves when they are damaged without the need for detection or repair by manual intervention of any kind.

A study on effect of bacteria on cement compositeseSAT Journals
Abstract
Crack is commonly observed failure in the case of concrete. Crack may develop due to addition of excess of water to during mixing of
concrete, or may be due to shrinkage and creep. In the present study, crack healing and improvement of physical properties of cement
paste, mortar and concrete are studied. It is done by the addition of bacterial strains namely Bacillus Sphaericus and Sporosarcina
Pastuerii. It is found that these bacteria when added at 106 concentration of cells/ml of water to cement composites increased by about
39.8% and 33.07% in paste. There is an increment of 50% and 28.2% in mortar for two bacterial strains. The strength increment is
found to be 18.3% and 12.2% for Bacillus Sphaericus and Sporosarcina Pastuerii respectively for concrete. Ultrasonic pulse velocity
of the bacterial concrete was in line with conventional concrete. SEM and XRD images revealed presence of CaCO3 produced
microbially. There is overall improvement in the bacterial composites compared to conventional composites.

Formation of cracks in concrete is a common phenomenon that allows many chemicals, water to seep inside leading to decrease in durability, including progressive drop in concrete strength. The maintenance and repair of structural concrete is very complex phenomenon. Self-healing concrete, using bacteria at the time of mixing, is an impressive solution to overcome these kinds of adverse effects. It is an economical way is to prepare concrete of better quality. The study was carried out to investigate the concrete performance by adding bacteria “Bacillus subtilis”. This Self-Healing concrete is also known as as Bio-concrete. Bacteria was induced directly in the concrete mix along with calcium lactate i.e., an organic precursor producing calcium carbonate crystals that block cracks and pores in the concrete. Samples were made with different quantities of bacteria and results showed significant increase in compressive strength of concrete and decrease in permeability. The concrete micro-structure was observed under SEM which also confirmed the experimental results obtained.
Cracks in concrete are inevitable and are one of the inherent weaknesses of concrete. Water and other salts seep through these cracks, corrosion initiates, and thus reduces the life of concrete. So there was a need to develop an inherent biomaterial, a self - repairing material which can remediate the cracks and fissures in concrete. Bacterial concrete is a material, which can successfully remediate cracks in concrete. This technique is highly desirable because the mineral precipitation induced as a result of microbial activities is pollution free and natural. As the cell wall of bacteria is anionic, metal accumulation (calcite) on the surface of the wall is substantial, thus the entire cell becomes crystalline and they eventually plug the pores and cracks in concrete. This paper discusses the plugging of artificially cracked cement mortar using Bacillus Pasteurii bacteria combined with sand as a filling material in artificially made cuts in cement mortar which was cured in urea and Calcium chloride medium. The effect on the compressive strength and stiffness of the cement mortar cubes due to the mixing of bacteria is also discussed in this paper. It was found that use of bacteria improves the stiffness and compressive strength of concrete. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to document the role of bacteria in microbiologically induced mineral precipitation. Rod like impressions were found on the face of calcite crystals indicating the presence of bacteria in those places.
In this study, bacterial concrete is to be prepared under grade of concrete OPC 43.The design mix proportioning also carried under IS code provision. Testing of specimens are carried at 7 days ,14 days and 28 days of curing by Compression Testing Machine and Universal Testing Machine for corresponding specimens. The Compressive Strength and Flexural Strength of Bacterial Concrete are found.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

The different strategies of designing self-healing materials are as follows:
• release of healing agent
• reversible cross-links
Self Healing Polymer
Self-healing materials are a class of smart materials that have the structurally
incorporated ability to repair damage caused by mechanical usage over time.
The inspiration comes from biological systems, which have the ability to heal
after being wounded.

catalyst, thus initiating polymerization

Microvascular System
To overcome the difficulty of
short supply of a healing agent
in microcapsule-based self-
healing concept, another
approach similar to biological
vascular system of many plants
and animals are applied
13. 13
Reversible Cross-links
Cross-linking is an irreversible process, which gives superior mechanical properties
highly cross-linked materials have the disadvantage of brittleness and have the tendency to
crack.
One approach to bring process ability to cross-linked polymers is the introduction of
reversible cross-links in polymeric systems
However, reversible cross-linked system does not show self-repairing ability by its own. An
external trigger such as thermal, photo, or chemical activation is needed to achieve
reversibility, and thereby the self-healing ability.

Supramolecular Polymers
Recently, low molar mass monomers are assembled together by reversible noncovalent
interactions to obtain polymer-like mechanical properties . As noncovalent interactions can be
reversibly broken and can be under thermodynamic equilibrium, this special class of
macromolecular materials, that is, the so-called supramolecular polymers show additional features
compared to usual polymers

When the concrete is mixed with bacteria (bacillus subtilus), the bacteria go into a dormant state, a lot like seeds. All the bacteria need is
exposure to the air to activate their functions. Any cracks that should occur provide the necessary exposure. When the cracks form, bacteria very
close proximity to the crack, starts precipitating calcite crystals. When a concrete structure is damaged and water starts to seep through the
cracks that appear in the concrete, the spores of the bacteria germinate on contact with the water and nutrients. Having been activated, the
bacteria start to feed on the calcium lactate nutrient. Such spores have extremely thick cell walls that enable them to remain intact for up to 200
years while waiting for a better environment to germinate. As the bacteria feeds oxygen is consumed and the soluble calcium lactate is
converted to insoluble limestone. The limestone solidifies on the cracked surface, thereby sealing it up. Oxygen is an essential element in the
process of corrosion of steel and when the bacterial activity has consumed it all it increases the durability of steel reinforced concrete
constructions. Tests all show that bacteria embedded concrete has lower water and chloride permeability and higher strength regain than the
surface application of bacteria. The last, but certainly not least, key component of the self-healing concrete formula is the bacteria themselves.
The most promising bacteria to use for self- healing purposes are alkaliphilic (alkali- resistant) spore-forming bacteria. The bacteria, from the
genus Bacillus, subtilus is adopted for present study. It is of great concern to the construction industry whether or not these bacteria are "smart"
enough to know when their task is complete because of safety concerns. Bacillus Subtilus which is a soil bacterium (isolated from JNTUH soil)
is harmless to humans as it is non-pathogenic microorganism.
Chemistry of the Process Microorganisms (cell surface charge is negative) draw cations including Ca2+ from the environment to deposit on the
cell surface. The following equations summarize the role of
bacterial cell as a nucleation site 14
Ca 2+ + Cell --------> Cell- Ca 2+
Cell- Ca 2+ +CO 32-----> Cell-CaCO
26. 26

The bacteria can thus act as a nucleation site which facilitates in the precipitation of calcite which can eventually plug the pores
and cracks in the concrete. This microbiologically induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICCP) comprises of a series of
complex biochemical reactions. As part of metabolism, B.Subtilus produces urease, which catalyses urea to produce CO 2 and
ammonia, resulting in an increase of pH in the surroundings where ions Ca 2+ and CO 32- precipitate as CaCO 3 . These create
calcium carbonate crystals that further expand and grow as the bacteria devour the calcium lactate food. The crystals expand until
the entire gap is filled. In any place where standard concrete is currently being used, there is potential for the use of bacterial self-
healing concrete instead. The advantage of having self- healing properties is that the perpetual and expected cracking that occurs
in every concrete structure due to its brittle nature can be controlled, reduced, and repaired without a human work crew. Bacterial
self-healing concrete also prevents the exposure of the internal reinforcements. This form of self-healing concrete was created to
continuously heal any damage done on or in the concrete structure. It was made to extend the life span of a concrete structure of
any size, shape, or project and to add extra protection to the steel reinforcements from the elements. With this process, money can
be saved, structures will last far longer, and the concrete industry as a whole will be turning out a far more sustainable product,
effectively reducing its CO2 contribution.
