ABSTRACT Epoxy resin insulation materials are prone to micro‐damage such as scratches and electrical treeing, which can lead a decline in performance threaten the safe operation of entire system. Microcapsule‐based self‐healing technology is one most promising solutions address issues epoxy resin. However, research has shown that when microcapsule doping concentration exceeds 3 wt%, mechanical strength decreases significantly, while too low affects healing efficiency. This paper focuses on used insulator core rods addresses contradiction between “low introduction” “high efficiency.” work synthesizes magnetically targeted UV‐sensitive microcapsules suitable for rods. During curing process resin, be directionally guided by magnetic field distribute areas damage, thereby ensuring repair efficiency reducing quantity used. The shells possess UV‐shielding properties, stability internal material. When damage propagates capsules, material flows out cures under UV light, completing damage. Additionally, larger‐scale rod specimens were fabricated, demonstrating excellent against scratch treeing In comparison, composite without exhibited reduction tensile breakdown 69.06% 74.77%, respectively, after Post‐repair, recovery rate reached 91.6%, achieved 90.4%.

ABSTRACT Utilizing self‐healing polymer coatings to prevent the corrosion and degradation of steel surfaces is crucial. These can repair damage by releasing healing agents. This research focuses on self‐lubricating behaviors these smart polymers. To do so, different contents ZrO 2 nanoparticles (0, 1, 3, 5 wt%) were dispersed in linseed oil as lubricant Then, agents capsulated a polyurea‐formaldehyde shell through an situ polymerization method. In following, uniform wt% microcapsules containing epoxy coating for application surfaces. The tribological (pin‐on‐disk) (polarization method) tests used characterizing lubrication behavior assessing features coatings. Results revealed that higher amounts led increase size during synthesis. Notably, with lower concentration exhibited significant improvements wear resistance, best enhancement observed at 1 wt%. optimal resulted 80% reduction friction coefficient 88% decline rate. demonstrated effective properties, successfully addressing microcracks boosting resistance. Specifically, 3 markedly enhanced So that, polarization test indicated nearly 96% current density when used. contrast, proved be less due challenges related uneven distribution increased viscosity oil.
