The ancient Romans used a type of lime mortar that has been found to be self-healing. [8] The stratlingite crystals form along the interfacial zones of Roman concrete, binding the aggregate and mortar together and this process continued even after 2000 years and it was discovered by the geologist Marie Jackson and her colleagues in 2014.
Related processes in concrete have been studied microscopically since the 19th century. Self healing materials only emerged as a widely recognized field of study in the 21st century. The first international conference on self-healing materials was h
Calcium is a binding agent in Roman concrete, which makes it remarkably strong. Figuring out where it came from was the key to solving this architectural mystery.
A living building material (LBM) is a material used in construction or industrial design that behaves in a way resembling a living organism.Examples include: self-mending biocement, [1] self-replicating concrete replacement, [2] and mycelium-based composites for construction and packaging.

Concrete is a composite material composed of aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement that cures to a solid over time. Concrete is the second-most-used substance in the world after water, [1] and is the most widely used building material. [2] Its usage worldwide, ton for ton, is twice that of steel, wood, plastics, and aluminium combined. [3]
Europe Self-healing Concrete Market Size and Forecast 2024 to 2033 The Europe self-healing concrete market size accounted for USD 38.95 billion in 2024 and is projected to surpass around USD 463.99 billion by 2033, expanding at a double digit CAGR of 31.67% between 2024 and 2033.
This self-healing has been observed in a variety of conventional cement and concretes; however, above a certain crack width self healing becomes less effective. It is the tightly controlled crack widths seen in ECC that ensure all cracks thoroughly heal when exposed to the natural environment.
