Abstract
Microcapsules have received considerable attention owing to their excellent self-healing properties, and many researchers have attempted to modify their microcapsules’ characteristics to meet the requirements of various applications. Owing to their excellent physical and chemical properties, nanomaterial-modified (nanomodified) microcapsules can be used to protect surface coatings and internal structures of cement-based materials. This paper summarizes the progress in theoretical research and practical application of nanomodified microcapsules in coatings and cement-based materials, focusing on preparation processes and performance enhancements. The advantages and necessity of using nanomaterials are highlighted by clarifying the effects of nanomodified microcapsules on the performances of coatings and cement-based materials. In addition, the bottlenecks in the application of nanomodified microcapsules to coatings and cement-based materials are comprehensively examined, and the challenges and future development directions are specified. This review provides technical guidance for the preparation of smart nanomodified microcapsules and novel ideas for enhancing the functionality of protective coatings and the durability and safety of cement-based materials.
