Abstract
Based on the study of microwave loss percolation effect of FeNip/PP nanocomposites, the microwave healing technology of FeNip/PP nanocomposites was proposed and its mechanism was studied. There is a unique microwave loss percolation characteristic between the microwave loss factor (tanδ) of FeNip/PP nanocomposites and the content of FeNi powders (0–20 wt%), and the percolation area is the range of 2–10 wt%. The microwave healing technology can realize the self-healing property of the PP-based composites. When the composites received the microwave signal, the magnetic nanopowders generate heat effect to heat the resin matrix, which forms a mobile phase. The mobile phase, melted PP matrix with some magnetic nanopowders, moved toward the microcracks, thereby healing or reducing microcracks inside the composite. The optimum time for microwave treatment was 15 min. After microwave healing, the microcracks of the composites were closed, and the tensile strength of FeNip/PP nanocomposites can be restored to 90% of that before damage.
