- Additional information
- This work led to the award of a £5M EPSRC programme grant, Resilient Materials for Life (EP/P02081X/1), where research to further develop the bacteria-based approach to application is pivotal, and a further award (EP/S013857/1) to enable meso-scale modelling of the approach described. The bacteria-based solution described in this paper was later used in the UK's first site trial of bacteria-based self-healing concrete carried out at the A465 Heads of the Valleys Highway upgrading project in collaboration with Costain (see doi.org/10.3389/fmats.2018.00051).
