Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201400248-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>By incorporating 3D microvascular networks</bold> containing a two‐part reactive chemistry within a fiber‐reinforced composite, continuous cycles of self‐healing after interlaminar delamination are achieved. An interpenetrating vasculature shows improved in situ fluid mixing over segregated microchannels, resulting in full recovery (&gt;100%) of mode‐I fracture resistance. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pghngw9d18" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
