Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201470166-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>By incorporating three‐dimensional microvascular networks within a woven glass fiber‐reinforced polymer composite N. R. Sottos, S. R. White, and co‐workers demonstrate on page 4302 the full recovery (&gt;100%) of mode‐I fracture resistance after multiple damage events. This optical image of a fracture plane reveals efficient delivery, mixing and polymerization of the fluorescently dyed, two‐part reactive healing chemistry. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pghngw9g7b" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
