Etched hollow glass bubbles (HGBs) with through-holes at micron level were used as micro-containers for epoxy and amine solution to realize the self-healing functionality in epoxy matrix. The average diameter, the average shell thickness, as well as the cavity inside the shell were investigated. In...
