The authors have demonstrated previously that reinforcing glass fibres can be used as light-guides to facilitate chemical
process monitoring and structural integrity assessment of fibre reinforced composites. In the current paper, the authors
explore concepts for the development of self-sensing, self-healing and crack-arrestor composites.
The first part of the papers presents a brief overview of previously reported technologies for self-sensing, self-healing
and crack-arrestor; the advantages and disadvantages of the various technologies are discussed. The second part of this
paper present the design concept and performance requirements for the self-sensing, self-healing and crack-arrestor
composites. The final part of the paper presents preliminary results on the manufacture and evaluation of this class of
composite.
