In this paper, multifunctional cementitious composites with integrated self-sensing and self-healing properties are developed using microencapsulation of nano-carbon black (NCB) to enclose slaked lime (SL). The results show that the cracks healing efficiency is strongly improved with NCB enclosed SL. With SL, the self-sensing capacity of NCB-cementitious composite exhibits higher and more stable piezoresistivity before or after self-healing. The NCB enclosing SL particles not only achieve excellent piezoresistivity, but also preserve SL from initial hydration. Furthermore, the remained SL can be released for further reactions in the cracks. The results provide a promising integrated multifunctional self-sensing and self-healing cementitious composite for structural health monitoring application.
